Boquete Ranches - Reviews and Rates

Jeg klarte til slutt etter en maaned aa reise fra Bocas. Kommer til aa savne stedet fryktelig, men jeg folte at det var paa tide aa komme meg videre. Jeg kom til Boquete i gaar kveld, og sjekket inn paa et nydelig hostel, som jeg var blitt anbefalt. Hostelet er et nydelig hus med en kjempe stor og frodig hage rett ved en liten elv. Jeg tror jeg ...

Boquete. Home of Coffee and Pancho, possibly the craziest hostel owner on the planet, but certainly one of the nicest. We happened upon his hostel as it was right opposite the bus stop and, after travelling all day from Bocas, we decided to chance it. We were greeted by ... well no one. The place was empty. Al, me and the English and Aussie girl...

So we depart Isla Bastimentos today and Bocas del Toro all together. We are so excited to have a climate change. Bocas is very beautiful and to be on an island, surrounded by small islands, is a good place to be. At this point though, the idea of heading to the mountains to an eco lodge that hopefully has a good power source sounds really appeal...

Buen dia!

Que tal? So my time of volunteering has finally elapsed. I enjoyed it and was quite sad to leave by the end. But Ithought I would dedicate this blog to explaining a bit about the place and what I have been up to over the last 2-3 weeks (which includes avoiding the swine flu!).

So, Paradise Gardens is run by an English cou...

Drove Dad and Mike to golf at Valle de Escondido. Wanted to go to internet cafe, but it was closed. Wanted to go to Mi Jardin es Su Jardin, a local private garden, but it too was closed. Any Panamanian or Indian run business was escentially closed for good Friday. Picked up dad and Mike and walked around the golf course for a bit. Only a 9-hole ...

Hello from Boquete, Panama! I have to back up first to add a couple of things from my last entry, which I wrote while I was absolutely exhausted. When we were working with the turtle that night in Cahuita, we also tagged her on both flippers, and took a DNA sample for future research regarding how the turtles in various places are related. I als...

After spending 2 months walking by coffee plants and drinking wonderful cups of coffee, we finally decided to take a 3 hour tour of a local coffee plantation which has won the International Coffee Gold Medal several times in the past 7 years. This travel entry is going to take a different form as we would like to share some of the interesting fa...

Over wijn moet je niet lullen, je moet het drinken. Wijnproeverijen en aanverwant geslobber en gespuug vinden wij dan ook al gauw neigen naar onzin. Je zou kunnen zeggen dat hetzelfde geldt voor koffie. Toch kunnen sommige mensen angstaanjagend lang en veel vertellen over koffie, zo bleek tijdens ons verblijf in Boquete, Panama. Wij logeerden er...

We stayed in Boquete for a total of 3 nights. It was very beautiful there, and sort of reminded us of home because of the mountains and evergreen trees (some type of longleaf pine, cedars, and junipers too). But of course without the snow. The town is idyllic, with a stream running by it. The nights are cool enough to warrant a light jacket, and...
