Happy New Year
One year ago today I was dancing with the lovely Paola from the Bahama’s and enjoying a glass of wine at the Zanzibar with new friends I had just met, having only been here since the 27th of December. This year will be spent at home, alone. (sniff)

Although the fairgrounds were severely damaged by the flooding last November, the community came together in a very short time to repair the damage caused by the flooding of the Rio Caldera river. All levels of government, together with local companies and volunteers worked tirelessly to get the ground ready for Boquete’s biggest fair, the Festival of Coffee and Flowers.
According to reports from Festival management, all of the amazing efforts were rewarded with a twenty percent increase in attendance over last year’s fair, with about 100,000 people attending this year.
The Castle, one of our most visited local attractions.
Legend has it that this was all about a failed romance.
The Valley of Eternal Spring
Boquete enjoys a mild spring-like climate all year-round.
