Chiriqui Highlands

Chiriquí province in western Panama is favoured with a temperate climate and attractive towns. Boquete, Cerro Punta and Volcán serve as convenient bases from which to explore the beautiful flora and fauna of the highlands. Dominated by Barú, Panama's largest dormant volcano, the cool, verdant highlands offer breathtaking scenery and contain enchanting cloud forests, more virgin rainforest than any other region of Panama and birds such as long-tailed silky flycatcher, three-wattled bellbird and resplendent quetzal. A number of endangered mammals exist here, including five cat species and Baird's tapir. Many trails traverse a variety of natural habitats bursting with life: for instance, the Los Quetzales Trail around Barú Volcano passes through open forest, cloud forest and rainforest and provides excellent opportunities to spot resplendent quetzal and many other upland species.

Finca Lérida
Within this working coffee farm near Boquete is a private cloud forest reserve wherein the unmistakeable call of the three-wattled bellbird can be heard and the resplendent quetzal frequently seen. There is a small lodge with comfortable rooms, lounge area with open fire and small restaurant serving local dishes and aromatic coffee from the finca's own plantation.
