Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Chiriqui Province, Panama

October 6, 2021 Joeann Galban

Chiriquí Province is a mountainous wonderland, located near the Barú Volcano. If you’re an adventure and nature lover, you’ll be right at home here, as the region offers everything from white-water rafting and kayaking to zip-line rainforest rides and hiking. More relaxed activities, such as coffee plantation tours and bird-watching, also are available here. To reach Chiriquí, you’ll likely pass through David, Panama’s third-largest city. If you choose to visit the Gulf of Chiriquí, you’ll find first-rate scuba diving, snorkeling, and other water sports that take full advantage of its marine location.

Boquete Bees

Panama's home of live, bio-active single variety honey. We also have a 200 sq meter butterfly house with over 30 local species of butterflies. Emerge yourself in the pollinators with a half day tour or else just swing buy for honey tastings and butterfly house (open 9-4), shop (open 9-4). We have a unique offering and we want to share it with people who like high quality honey, love nature and want to make a difference by supporting our small business. We are passionate about taste. We can offer honey tastings like no other. More varied than anywhere else in the world that we know of. We produce a vast range of different flavors of honey depending on the floral source. This is unique and only possible because of the enormous biodiversity in Western Panama around Volcan Baru. This small Isthmus has Atlantic and Pacific coasts, 11,000 ft mountains and just about every type of forest and grassland in between. Some of our honeys are rare, some we have in larger quantity. We are serious about health. Our honey and our honey bees are very healthy. We sell raw minimally filtered honey. More than that though, our honey is pure and pristine in ways that are not possible in most of the developed world: 1. Most of our honeys are from wild plants which have no chemical treatment and are utterly pristine 2. Our bees are healthy, we do not need to feed antibiotics or miticides We want to teach people to better understand how to care for our pollinators. We offer a tour on our honey farm in Boquete. We treasure all types of bees and keep on the farm a wide variety of forage for bees, different types of native bees to illustrate how bees and plants are meant to exist together. Our butterfly house is 200 sq meters and is full of fun and activity. Sure to delight all ages.

We were with a large group. The owner and her staff were organized, informative and entertaining. The tour was so personable. The guide was so willing to stop and answer questions. The honey tasting after the tour was eye opening, never thought there could be so many different flavors. This is a MUST see excursion.

Faro Panama

Touristic lighthouse surrounded by mountains and seas. The lighthouse itself is divided in 3 parts. The lobby in which you pay for the entrance, you can also purchase snacks, beverage or souvenirs ; the observation deck which offers a preview of what you'll be able to see at the top; the view deck which offers an amazing view plus binoculars that will help you enjoy the view. We also have a restaurant and a coffee store for when you visit us. We also have 2 areas for children, the playground and tricycle area.

As I walked up the stairs to the top of the Faro, it suddenly dawned on me that I was going up to a VERY high place! Looking around from the top, I saw a different world around me! I could actually see the islands in the ocean off the coast! The views of the mountains were spectacular! Boquete sure looked different from this perspective! I really enjoyed it, and plan to go again soon. What a rush!

My wife and I were staying in Boquete but decided to drive out to Volcan for this tour. It did not disappoint. The farm is beautiful and it is a great place to hang out and hike. The sheer number of different birds alone makes spending time here worthwhile. Emily took us on the tour. She spent way more time with us than the scheduled duration of the tour. We are coffee snobs and it was great to learn more about the production process. This tour is awesome!

Arte Cruz is amazing and his shop has many hand made items highlighting Volcan and Panama. Also, Arte was able to show us how he created such wood works. Great place to stop and check out his works.

Haras Cerro Punta

We are the largest race horse breeding ranch in Panamá. Located in the center of Cerro Punta, we offer the opportunity to learn about race horse breeding and training. Enjoy a great tour with unique picture opportunities and amazing coffee.

Reviewed By travelwithson

The farm is easy to find due to the great signs. When I was there, I was the only person on the tour. The guide spoke only Spanish so I didn't get all of what she said. She explained a lot of technical info, the entry of new horses and how they are evaluated/trained for racing, the breeding and raising of the babies, the history of the farm and its champions, and the hospital and boarding facilities. I thought the tour would be a petting tour but these horses are worth so much money that now I understand why there wasn't any petting time (except for the Percheron that anyone can sit on and the guide will take your photo). I learned a lot about throughbreds and racing.
