Boquete

The country’s principal mountain address and the only one with a large foreign community — roughly a fifth of its residents. Twelve hundred metres gives what is called eternal spring here: around twenty-five by day, fifteen at night, all year. Neither heating nor air conditioning is needed, and that changes the electricity bill noticeably.

Boquete is Panama’s coffee capital, with plantations around the town and Barú rising above it, the country’s highest point at three thousand four hundred and seventy-four metres. The morning drizzle locals call bajareque arrives almost every day and almost always ends in a rainbow. The town has clinics and English-speaking doctors; for serious medicine people go to David, forty minutes down.

Boquete is a mountain town in Chiriquí province with a cool climate, coffee plantations, rivers and hiking. A favourite of expats and retirees for its nature and mild weather.
