Spanning the continental divide, near the border of Panama and Costa Rica, is the cloudiest place in Central America: the Fortuna Hydrological Reserve, a tropical highland forest with almost as many tree species as the entire United States. This unique hike is of the Cloudforest areas in the general area of Boquete, Chiriqui, Panama.
Hiking the gentle slope of what will become the Volcán Baru, this walk includes Panamanian grasslands, indigenous animal habitat, jungle, and cloudforest. You will be in the presence of one of the most diverse plantlife areas in the world, and we will be hiking it at a pace where you can actually pause to enjoy these surroundings. Your guide will point out unique examples of all the various forms of life you will be passing by.
Panama’s most accessible cloudforest cloaks the country’s Western Highlands, with the main access point the delightful flower-filled coffee-producing town of Boquete.
In Boquete, we have a meeting location where you can park safely and we provide all transportation for our activities in your Easy Walk through Gorgeous Scenery hike; or if you are staying in the Bajo Boquete (downtown) area, or at Hotel La Serrania, we can pick you up at your lodgings.
The Easy walk through Gorgeous Scenery hike starts with you being picked up either at your lodgings or at the Hotel La Serrania in northern Boquete (the Los Naranjos area). Departure time from our office is at 6:45 AM. Pick-Up times will be a bit earlier if we are getting you from your Boquete lodgings.
Once you have reserved your Easy walk through Gorgeous Scenery hike, you will receive an email which includes three very important steps to complete your Easy walk through Gorgeous Scenery booking. One is a link where to retrieve your Easy walk through Gorgeous Scenery Information Booklet, which contains all the necessary meeting place information and a whole lot more.
Please keep in mind that the Boquete area is very tropical in nature, being so close to the Caribbean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and the Equator. We get a lot of rain. For 10 months of the year we get rain virtually every day, up to 500 centimeters (200 inches) a year. We set your tour hours to avoid what we can of it, but there is a chance it will rain during your Easy walk through Gorgeous Scenery hike. Please just consider this when you are packing and then choosing what to wear or bring on your tour. You will likely get wet.
