Thanks for sharing this video! It's such a treat to see Boquete as it is now. 😃 My wife and I visited earlier this year for a couple of nights, and it brought back memories from our trip many years ago. It's amazing to see how much has changed for the good!
This is one of the best videos showcasing Boquete. I can’t wait to return and walk through the park area. Best paths I’ve seen for a town. It was great to have the businesses highlighted like you did Thank you for sharing ❤
Volcan’s infrastructure blows Boquete away. Not thought was put into building boquete. With the large population you would think they would have $$$ to spend on improving the town.
We visited last January and yes they have a lot of restaurants and some beautiful parks but its crowded and a lot of traffic. We were honestly afraid of getting run over. 🤷🏻♂️
@@mikecaprock9684 More like parking and not building everything on top of each other. Volcan has pretty much all the amenities of Boquete but not as crowded. Planning went into Volcan.
Excellent video, thank you! I'm sharing it with friends who ask why I'm moving to Panama. The drone video is especially beautiful! One thing I didn't care for in Boquete was the strong smell of exhaust in some of the roadside restaurants. I imagine it's not so bad when it's breezy, but I'd sit away from the curb otherwise. 😁
Thank you for showing us the town/city as if we were there, I love that. Just found your channel and I am curious about Boquete, since I am not a fan of hot and humid weather
Great video! It looks as though most towns and cities in Panama still require a vehicle, though, no? The towns appear to be set up like US & Canadian towns, with housing separated from services, restaurants etc.
Your videos are great! The best for getting a real picture of the area. Question: You call this "A Walk" but from what I see, Boquete does not look very walkable. Few sidewalks, etc. Like so many others, I am interested in that area, but I must be able to walk without getting run over.
In general, Panama is not friendly to pedestrians, especially those with mobility issues. They use slick tile on the ground outside businesses, and sidewalks are uneven, have steps, and are often not maintained well. I have seen recent videos of Volcan, where along the main road they have put in wide sidewalks separated from the road by grassy areas. You might look there.
Best series of videos ..really give you a great feel for each area. Are you from Calgary? Wondering if you find it very overcast, dreary and rainy in Panama? We are used to Calgary's 330 days of sun and not sure if we would be able to adjust.
Hi, Thank you for your comment. Yes we are from Calgary. It depends on where you live. In general there is a lot of sun, but it's humid all the time. That takes getting used to. Other things to consider are problems with infrastructure. Power outages as well as water shortage or outage. Police everywhere, 911 is virtually not available, my wife was in an accident and it took 4hrs for them to show up. I don't want to sound negative about Panama, but all these businesses like tour company's try to make it look like Panama is the next Paradise. We seriously suggest to rent for a while and "test the waters" first. On that note, the ocean is warm and so are the pools. The beach is often so hot you cant walk barefoot. Rainy Season is probably different than what you may think. It usually rains at roughly the same time of the day, rains for a few hours and stops. Rarely does it rain for days in a row. I hope i didn't kill the dream, but this is reality from us to you and we live here. Always take every advice, especially on those Facebook groups with a grain of salt. On the other hand, we dont miss Calgary one bit. I hope this helps a bit.
@@freedom55adventure Thank you for the details and glad you still live there! Calgary is definitely not the same these days. Looking at Anton Valley/Poterillos hopefully later this year! You didn't kill anything for us but we are looking for the reality of Panama instead of the rosey stories of youtube. That's why I love your folks videos and the drone shots ...showing how it is.
I have been watching your videos for over a year. I love the driving tours. I am planning my move to Panama. I am clearing up some paperwork with my attorney. You use to tours of properties for rent in 2023 are you going to do so in 2024?
Hi, thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. We show properties for owners as they come up. We enjoy doing it. It’s had to say if anything will come up, this is not to say that we don’t know if properties in Chiriqui. Contact us when you get here and we can meet and chat.
There are plenty of options. If you are used to a big city gym in the US with tons of classes & state of the art equipment you may be disappointed. The Haven Spa has a gym that one can join and they also have a nice pool. In addition, they have some classes (yoga). If one lives in a gated community they usually will have a pool and a small gym there.
Unrealistic! It's no parking, bumper to bumper traffic most times! Shot during a holiday or quiet time. Very difficult walking thru town especially for seniors.
Unrealistic? Perhaps you mean unrepresentative? It's a tourist area, so it's reasonable to expect traffic would increase and decrease with the seasons. I understand locals use side roads to bypass traffic whenever possible during high season. There are no sidewalks in some areas, but I found others were easily walkable.

Oh boy, can't wait to come again and stay longer! Love this beautiful town. Miss it so much!

@@reallmccoy9043 by infrastructure you mean water and electric? Do you live up there ? How is the internet?

Extraordinario video mostrando la esencia de Boquete.! Muchas gracias por compartirlo. 👍
Muchas gracias por su comentario
Love the blue skies and weather. Laid back little place that Is home.

Thanks for watching!
I love Boquete and I want to make this my new home. Should be there October 🎉
Was just there two months ago....and you showed some places i missed! Cant wait to get back there.
Great videos, and perfect music. thanks!
❤Bienvenidos a Boquete❤
This video is very well done. We plan on visiting later this year.
Thank you. You will enjoy I'm sure
drone footage was superb!
Thank you very much
Lo que me gusta de Boquete es su clima aunque haga sol es agradable el clima
Thank you very much for sharing, I'm thinking on moving to Belize n trying to learn as much as possible being alone. God blessings
Hi, we originally looked at Belize, but there is just not the infrastructure that we have in Panama. Ambergris is beautiful
Thank you for sharing, we cannot wait for our house to sell to come and live there 😂
Great video!

Hi, it is easy to get around with public transportation. Sidewalks are rare and often in bad shape

Where are your sweet voice commenting every part of the areas?

Always been curious about this area. What are the gyms like in town?
Hi, the gyms are very similar to the ones that you are probably used to where you live. Some are newer and some are older. There are several in town.
There are plenty of options. If you are used to a big city gym in the US with tons of classes & state of the art equipment you may be disappointed.
