    We are retiring in 2 weeks and will travel for several years from Mexico to Argentina. We prefer cool weather so Boquete is on our list. We just wonder if it being so small if we will quickly get bored there.

      You can travel for all Chiriqui province without traffic. If you want a more city feeling you can go to David (Capital of Chiriqui), if you want beaches it is exist Puerto Armuelles. Other places similar to Boquete are Cerrro Punta and Volcan. Also Bocas del Toro (other province) is near with beautiful beaches.

    lived there,, I prefer Volcan.. boquete is in a cannon. boquete is crowded.
    its a nice drive from boquete to volcan,,, about 10 km from david is the cut off to volcan.. Wen your in Boquete you don't have to drive into David to get to Vulcan.
    correction,,, most of the food is grown in volcan and cerro punta. not boquete

    No sis, quit embarrassing yourself saying the most bizarre pronunciation of the town. 3 syllables. You had it (Bo-Que-Te) a couple times and then went back to BoQuett . Or it could just be how you decided to edit it. Anyways. Hope you enjoyed yourself. If you ever go back with a little bit of adventure money. Zip line, white water raft, or take a hike tour to Volcán Barú(full day hike).

    As kindly as I can put it Boquete is one of the worst, most racist and corrupt places I ever visited in my life. From the mayor extorting small businesses to the clickish expat community and sky high prices, you would be better off in Colombia.

  • @jamesfry4058

    It's a little village in the mountains with nothing to do. Nothing. Lovely place to visit for the coffee & flower festival. We've met quite a few American and Canadian ex-pats over the years who lived in Boquete and left after a few years. Always the same reason ..... boring. Boquete is like Florida ..... a place everyone visits and dreams of living there one day and when they finally do, 40% of them leave within 5 years. I imagine if you're retiring after 40 years at the tire plant in Nowhere Ohio it'll be heaven. If you're a city person, it'll be heaven for a while .... then it will be what it is ... a very scenic little mountain town where nothing ever happens and there's nothing to do. Oh, you can drive 45 minutes to David, which is a bigger little town with nothing to do
