Boquete weather is characterized by a warmer Dry Season (December through March) known as Summer, and a cooler Wet Season (April through November) known as Winter. Temperatures are highly dependent on elevation, cloud cover and rainfall, with variances of up to 20 degrees Farenheit between the sea level cities of Panama City and David, to the 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) above sea level elevation of Boquete. Nights and sometimes even days, on the summit of Volcan Baru at 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), can get VERY cold so be sure to prepare for this if you intend to scale the summit. The climatic conditions and sharp incline in topography make for breathtaking beauty, as well as several micro-climates within the valley itself.

The photo on our web site header above shows the village of Boquete nestled in the surrounding bowl of volcanic mountain range. The first pioneers to begin changing the rainforest profile began arriving over 100 years ago when it took a force of human effort with bush knifes, axes and machetes to clear homesites and farm lands. |
