March 12, 2022 Tynisha Seiler

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.

I visited the spa for a massage and facial. On arrival, Kitzie gave me a warm welcome. She inquired about my expectations and special issues. From that information, she outlined her areas of focus during the massage, so I knew what to expect. Kitzie is a gifted masseuse. She worked with gentle skill to relieve specific problem areas. Kitzie is a wise source of knowledge about locally sourced products. I was pleased to discover that many of the oils and facial products are natural and organic. She was happy to give me information on how to order the products for my personal use. My skin felt incredibly soft and fresh after the facial. I highly recommend a visit to Spa Boquete!

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.

Reviewed By dschamp - Boquete, Panama

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.
