- Welcome to Boquete, a small, charming mountain town in Panama!
It is hidden on 1,200 meters above the sea level, in green mountain highlands, only 40 miles from the border between Panama and Costa Rica, on the Caldera River. Pleasant climate, scenic landscape, and natural environment make Boquete a popular tourist and retirement destination. Some people say it resembles a Swiss Alpine village, only located in South America.
As Panamians love to party, you can expect to enjoy monthly fiestas and music events whenever you come here.
We stayed at Los Molinos and had a fantastic time. We went on the most amazing hike down a trail that lead to a beautiful waterfall and experienced first hand the powerful flow of the river below.
We also met the most amazing people and were even invited to spend the night at one of their homes/farms.
Enjoy the video and make sure to comment below where you're watching from!
Stay tuned because the next video will be all about why people retire in Boquete Panama.

Hey Everyone!
We're working on our next video: Why Retire in Boquete Panama. Since we're just doing the edits, I'd love to know if there's anything specific you'd like to know or have us include in the video.
was it an easy and safe drive to get there?
Growing Up Without Borders I loved your video and am interested in moving to Panama. How easy is it to get good quality fruit in Boquete? I eat tons of fruit, it’s my primary food source and need lots of sweet ripe fruit to choose from
I don't think anyone has covered how much it costs to build a duplex, apartment building or townhouse in Boquete. Also, did you find the food cheaper when you were in the rural areas outside of Boquete. AND, how much does a lawyer for relocation, visas etc cost?
Growing Up Without Borders how is the government treating this v i r u s, closures,
5 g e e and talk of
v a c c i n e s?
I want to take a trip, but with Covid, who knows when we can travel.
Those raccoon/monkey animals are called Coatimundi. I lived in Panama between 1984-1987 when I was in the USAF. The Coatis have a weird temperament and they bite. I never allowed my children around them.
I am a US Federal Government retiree and looking to relocate to Panama in 2020. I miss the boating, fishing, and wonderful Panamanian people. Boquete looks very nice.
Your video is nicely done. Thank you.
I was there the same time as you at Kobbe on Howard . 3/5th and then 2/187th Airborne.
So they can't be a pet?
Was there as a kid (9-12) in early 70's in Ft. Clayton-Corazol and rarely saw those cat-like critters...and I lived in the jungle with my buddies. Loved Panama! Panama city then looked like Cuba today with countless multi-painted third-world looking buses everywhere. It looks so modern now. I want to know about safety and the ability to conceal carry. Pew pew.
Coatis should be living in the wild and fear humans. I live in Costa Rica where they are wild. It's a shame that stupid tourists probably fed them and now they lost the fear of humans. It's as dangerous for humans as it is for them. Humans can transmit deceases to wild animals. NEVER FEED WILD ANIMALS.
@@TrashCanRoxanne , I was a hypocrite. Big time !!!! But now I’m normal. Don’t hurt animals. It’s easy being a vegan. Stop hurting innocent animals. They did nothing wrong !!! They are innocent !!! Purely innocent !!! Over a freaking 5 minute hamburger etc !!!! CuIt🔴foIIowing !!!!
You can have vegan hamburgers and vegan chicken and vegan pizza and vegan curry and vegan ice cream and vegan burritos and vegan tacos et cetera !!! Think about the victim !!!! Not your self !!!!!! I know I’m right and you’re wrong. I was a hypocrite but now I’m normal. I don’t stab animals anymore. RUclips delicious vegan food...
You guys are adorable! Kudos to Mom for having a great sense of adventure even to rent a car and drive her and daughters around Panama! Brava Madrecita!
Thanks! Tyler was there too but I tend to do most of the driving.
You should be very proud to have such cheerful and well behaved daughters! The best education a child can have.
Thanks! We’re certainly enjoying the time we have with them.
Watching from Bocas, Panama. Lived in Bocas 11 years now. Sailed down from Canada
That's so cool!
Another beautiful video with luscious environment .Thanks for shearing.
Crebs Park: Haha!
Thanks for visiting Panama. Boquete is one of the many beautiful places we have in our country. You should come again and visit Bocas del Toro with its beautiful beaches and the archipelago of San Blas with it's more than three hundred little islands. And there's more to see.
What a beautiful place. I love Sloths.
Yeah it was a really experience for us to see them.
I'm thinking of moving to Panama. Currently am living in San Diego but also have a home near Eugene, Oregon.
Thank you for sharing your travels!
Best of luck with trying to determine if it's the right place for you.
I've seen a few w this family. Really good. Watched quite a few w black folk who moved there. Especially the ones by a young black woman.
I went to Boquete in December with my parents. My dad meant to rent a 4x4, but didn't and then we got stuck on an unpaved road accidentally, but then got helped by friendly natives. The hikes were beautiful and same with the coffee plantations.
Oh that’s funny. Always nice when you have an adventure like this...it creates a fun story to tell.
Thank you for sharing your adventures in beautiful Panama! Hope to go there one day! Steve from Guelph, Canada.
PERFECT ALTITUDE! We lived in Boquete for two years and the temperature is as you say. No need for air conditioning or heat. If it gets too warm, just open the windows a little wider. When it gets too cool we didn't open the windows as wide. However, if you go higher into the mountains, it often gets much cooler and windier.
What a beautiful video...wow so much nature. I grew up in the city pretty close from the Tocumen airport. Had never been in Chiriqui but I'm thinking in moving there once I retire. I just miss the nature if my country, the sweat water, beautiful beaches, the warm people. Hope I can move back to my country one day.
Ah, you must miss it dearly. I hope you can go back and rediscover your country!
Just the great coffee alone would have sold me lol ! (Wheeling,WV (USA) )
Right?!?
I'm in love with Boquete.Im ready to take a tour. Would be great to retire there.
I'm 54 and been to 61 countries. By the time your daughters reach my age they will probably have been to twice as many as me. Love the vids.
Well done. I love your video about boquete. I Couldn´t find something equal. I plan to retire to boquete in 7 years.
Watching you girls from Canada! Have a blessed trip wherever you go!
Thanks so much!!
will be watching all ur videos. pretty good. love you all.
Hello, Watching from Southern California!! This was the first of your videos I have seen. I will be watching more. I have raised and homeschooled 5 children for the last 25 years. My youngest just graduated, and so have I!! [Retired, that is!] This was always my dream to travel with the kids. Didn't end up doing much of that but we had many wonderful adventures nonetheless. Getting ready to travel much more now!! Thank you for the adventurous, well-done videos. Found you by googling Boquete, Panama.
My son has used Monarch for three years. It has been very good for him. You have a very bright and shining family!
God Bless,
Heather
You guys are amazing, fearless.
What an awesome Mom. Love your travel adventures. I’m amazed at the true education your giving to your daughters. Priceless!
Thank you so much! It's encouraging when we get comments like this.
@@GrowingUpWithoutBorders I’ve been watching many videos as I am getting ready to travel. Your videos are top notch. So enjoyable to watch and learn about these wonderful places and people to see.
Thank you for sharing. I had fun touring with you through video.😊
Great! Thanks for coming along! I hope you enjoy many of our other videos too!
In Georgia, that was fun. Might make one of my destination spots. Especially the the waterfalls & animals reservations. So Koolio!! 'Lovelife`
Thank u guys. My Aunty lived there and I was blessed to visit. I fell in love with all of it. Hope to return there and possibly live there. Bless u all.
Thanks so much for this video! You ladies are indeed fortunate to travel like you do!
Beautiful, thanks for sharing!!
Oh my God.
I think that I gonna move soon with my family
Sandy Canada
Loved this video!!! One of my favorites ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I felt as if I was also there with you guys! Super cool experience in Boquete. Beautiful place! This is the kind of trip that is unique (not a pretentious tourist trap crowded place) but relaxing, adventurous and interesting all at the same time. It gives you the opportunity to learn a lot from the country, its yummy food 🥘 and its warm and welcoming people, as we saw it with the kind and generous restaurant owner’s invitation to stay in her house. That gesture is almost surreal in an individualist based culture, but not there. 👍 It truly melted down my heart ❤️ 🇵🇦 The girls are lovely and I appreciate how open you all are to new cultures and idiosyncrasies. We have a lot to learn from you! Thank you and good luck in your next adventure!! 🌸🤩👍🍀
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. We so glad you enjoyed coming along with us around Boquete. I hope you enjoy many more of our videos!
Thank you for this video I was researching for a couple months moving to the Philippines! Wonderful country with Amazing people! The Lord said no! Panama specifically Boquette !
Wow! I have a new Panama video coming out soon. You’ll have to check back again in a few days once it’s up.
Stunning, informative and encouraging video. A must visit place I feel. Thank you!
Most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.
You folks are so over the top adventurous, Chantal, I'm only going to put my feet in, yea sure, I doubt it!
😂😂😂
Beautiful,Beautiful! It's really informative ! Thanks for sharing!
What a nice lady Denise is. So nice of her to open her home and it looked beautiful. This place Boquete looks amazing . Your villa, the pool area, the waterfalls and the animals wonderful. I really enjoyed this video looks like a place that would be so nice to visit. Did you go to any of the coffee boutiques that you were talking about? I love coffee. I bet it was delicious. Thanks again for posting I really liked it and very informative.
Denise is an amazing lady. We also met her friends Liz and Bob and we all enjoyed a wonderful lunch the following day.
It’s amazing how many beautiful people you meet when traveling.
Yes, I had many coffees in Boquete. 😋
I’m spending the month of March in Boquete and have been watching videos of the city. Yours is hands down the best I’ve seen.
Wow! That's really nice of you to say. We really appreciate the nice feedback. 🙏❤️❤️
Growing Up Without Borders it was well deserved
Thanks!
Quite nice. Informative. Lovely family. Good mother. :)
Thanks!
Waaow,..Amazing,.. Panama... , Peradis..👍🙋♂️☕🤩😍🙏
Yes it's beautiful!
That traffic sign, the steep hill one, made me laugh so hard!
Now I’m curious. I’m going to have to watch the video. I forget which traffic sign was in this video. 🤔
Ok I see which one you mean. Some of these road we take are incredible. 😂😂
Thanks to share your video with us..
I was looking to know more for
Boquete because the climate over
There is good than others places
In Panama..I am in USA for many
Yrs now and I considering to go
Back to my country...I went in
October for 2 months Don't know
But the weather had me crazy
To hot I was sweating to much
I was felt uncomfortable..but yes
I looking others areas to move on.
You have a beautiful family.
God bless.
Wow. The housing prices were pretty shocking. Much higher than I expected to be advertised to a retirement crowd looking for lower cost of living. 😢 *Thanks so much for your work! It's truly an asset!
the inflationary pressures of American immigrants. it seems the rental prices haven't caught up yet
Lots of people from all over the world here. New places are being discovered though, so housing prices will raise on those locations as well.
Great job, we enjoyed watching your real experiences and discoveries. Thanks!
very cute, especially the kids with the animals, thanks!
Watching you from right here in Boquete(HLM).Your video was well done, showing the beauty of my adopted country with great accuracy. First time on your channel. Subscribed so I can travel around the world with your family. Continue traveling with peace and safety.
Amazing 🌹 place
Especially the climate. It’s so attractive.
Wow, sounds like some nice people live around there. You meet someone at dinner and then they invite you and your family to visit their home AND stay at their home overnight!
I know...Amazing isn’t it?!?
Nice arrangements for living there nice beautiful place surrounded by nice environment
Y’a definitely!
Thank You very much for share it. Love from Italy
You’re most welcome!
I did not know that there was such a high elevation in Panama. The waterfall was pretty cool.
Nice family. Watching from Virginia USA

This video is amazing. I like the same types of activities and will definitely put these on my list. Omg, at holding sloths. What an amazing adventure you gave your children.
Awesome! If you like these type of adventure you’ll definitely love it!
Your kids are adorable and so amazingly well behaved! You clearly have some pro parenting skills!

Amazing video. Pleasse post more of Boquete
We'd have to go back again. :) What would you like to know or see? Maybe we can create a new one.
Oh how I would love a cup of that delicious coffee ☕️! Very enjoyable tour. I just never realized this area was so nice. The waterfalls coming out of the cliffs were beautiful. I have always wanted to hold a sloth. Thank you for sharing. 😁. Palm Harbor, Florida
Just watching your videos make me happy :)
Another great video, it looks like a really lovely place. Thanks again for sharing, love, Mike 😘
What an amazing video! Here In Wisconsin, USA I am researching about moving to the Philippines and your video pops up. Maybe its a God thing? They say their are no coincidences with the Lord! With Him everything happens for a reason. I will be praying and listening! Thank you very much! Vaya con Dios. I may have to practice my Spanish. It has been a very long time! Tenga buen dia!
I am watching from Jupiter Florida and thinking about going to Panama
Beautiful country and a beautiful country. I don't think I am too worried about it being too cold at higher eleavations. I am in Winnipeg Canada and currently its -27°C with windchills down to minus -40s -50s. I think I can brave winter in the mountains of Boquete. 😁🏵🌴 / 🌫🌬🌨
I bet you can 😂😂-40c windshield. That’s just awful and traumatizing. 🥶
DAVID is pronounced Dah-veed in Spanish. surprised you didnt know that since everyone pronounced Boquete so perfectly. "Whole Foods - Organic is that simple" beautiful and helpful video!
We saw coatis in South America. Such cute animals!
This is now on my list of countries to see.
I just discovered your channel and love it! Thanks so much for sharing! 😀👍🏼🌹
Very nice vlog
Es una buena travesia, le faltaron incluso muchos lugares mas por conocer, saludos desde boquete panama, muy bonito el video.
speak English so everyone can understand
I enjoyed your video. Watching from Alameda, California.
Great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Kevin from Edmonton Alberta. I don't want to spend any more winters here. -40 degrees is not that great. I am ready to pack my bags right now. I'll be sure to check out your other videos.
I don’t blame you. I can’t stand the cold for so many months either. I would check out other places too since there are so many nice warm places to live like Boquete in Costa Rica, Nicaragua etc...
Your family is creating an excellent presentation. The background music is all appropriate. That waterfall was beautiful, that stream looked dangerous.
It was easier to relax after you put on the hats :). You are getting mildly sunburnt. Thank you for sharing your adventures! Makes for a really enjoyable learning experience.
Introducing us to the beautiful countryside & resorts is a treat. It might be an interesting contrast to see some of 'how & where' the indigenous population lives- city & countryside.
Thanks! We will be showing more about how the local people live when you see the upcoming video on Bocas del Toro. We should have it ready for Sunday.
watching from Indiana. Thanks for the tour. looking forward to going there
Thanks for letting us know where you’re watching from. I hope you enjoy your time in Boquete!
Cool!
Watching from Freezing Cold Minnesota USA
Great tour for sure! I just thought that the woman that invited you all to her house that you all met at the Mexican Restaurant was an awesome woman! To not even know you all and she opened her home to you all❤️ also, the waterfalls were just breathtaking! I’m watching you from Louisville, Kentucky 😉
Have to at least go for a visit 😊 Cheers from Snohomish, Washington 🎉
Snohomish? I had a friend Melody & her husband John Davis, ski instructors. They lived in a lovely lakeside home there. Beautiful! Bears and all!
Awesome vid ... loved it.
Great job! Salt Lake City, Utah
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!!!
Very well done video. I too, am infatuated with Boquete, and look forward to a trip there in the near future. Your information is very helpful, and I will be staying at the Hotel Central. Thanks to you.
That's awesome! Please say hello to everyone there at Hotel Central and enjoy your time in Boquete!
Thank you so much for the video!!! Watching from Brooklyn!
Awesome!
Hello liked your video from Mount Everest Nepal
OMG beautiful!
cool video!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Boquete has one of the most (if not the most) expensive coffee of the world: Geisha. In 2019 coffee bid it was sell at one thousand US dollars the pound.
i love love your video. thanks for sharing it with us.
Amazing video, this is my first video of yours, love you all from Toronto.
I enjoyed your video. Nicely done. Good to see the tourist side of things there in Boquete. The bus ride and restaurant food seemed a tiny bit higher than others have reported but it could have been because you were on the tourist side of things.
