The hiking in Boquete is one of the most beautiful activities that you could do while in Boquete. There are many options of hiking where you could see a waterfall, wildlife and do some exercise. Hiking in Boquete is perfect for all ages and skills. One of my favorites hikes in Boquete is the Secret Waterfall with a great view to the mountains and a waterfall 3 meters tall. Great for an adventure!

ISL has offered Hike For Humanity trips to Panama, and around the Boquete area for the last 5 years. All of our volunteers with this program rave about their experiences on our Panamanian teams, and it has become a very popular destination, and one that we offer at least once every month. The diversity of wildlife and the scenery in the area are phenomenal, and many of our volunteers chose to hike in Panama over our other countries. The hiking and opportunities...

The hiking and opportunities to do so are first class around Boquete.

Between my husband and me, only my husband has gone hiking here in Boquete. He hikes with his friends once in a while up in the mountains and they enjoy it. The pictures he has shown me were really awesome. My husband is not an experienced hiker and at the same time he’s older so he can’t hke very often. Also, the hiking routes are very steep and there are wooden bridges along the way so it’s more challenging for people in their 60s. ...

Also, the hiking routes are very steep and there are wooden bridges along the way so it’s more challenging for people in their 60s. There are many groups here (between 5 to 20 people per group) who organize various hiking expeditions. They even have a “Wednesday hiking group”. If you’re interested, you can just go to the meeting place at a certain time and hike with the group.
There are other tour places around here that also have hiking trips which are less challenging. You can just walk out your door in most places in the Boquete area and be in a place where you can hike immediately like Volcancito road, for example.
For me, it’s pretty much fun to just walk on a dirt road. There are fantastic views and birds at every place here in Boquete, although you have to be aware of where you’re stepping because there are stones everywhere and you might trip and break your ankle. You can get a hiking stick if you want to help you with your balance.
As for camping, I have not camped here in Boquete but some people I know have. I have some friends who were from Alabama, USA and they went to the woods in the city of David to camp. It’s the closest big city from Boquete and it’s about 40 minutes away via the newly-constructed highway. They’ve also camped in some areas around here in Boquete towards the mountain as well as at some beaches in Panama.

People in Boquete do not tend to go camping, but there is lots of hiking. I see backpackers all the time going by my house.
Boquete is like in the bowl between the mountains so if you keep going on long hikes that extend to outside of town, you will end up going uphill. Some of the trails are marked and some are not. There are guides that you can hire.
I guess you can do an overnight hike but I do not think many people do it because there are no campsites...

I guess you can do an overnight hike but I do not think many people do it because there are no campsites like in the Appalachian hikes in the US.
