Chiriqui Province “ has it all” 04 january 200727 February 2008
ChiriquiThe people of Chiriqui are some of the proudest. They boast that this region “has it all” and they may be right. Chiriqui does offer the highest peak and some of the longest rivers with over 20 world class white water rafting runs in a 2 hour drive. The region still offers old growth forests and more exotic birds and near extinct creatures of the jungle than arguably anywhere else in Central America. The dark rich volcanic soil produces bountiful coffee, fruit, and vegetables. Just offshore its coast, Chiriqui is home to some of the Pacific Tropics most developed corals banks. Even financially Chiriqui ties for number one with Boquete Boquete tour (for a virtual tour courtesy of VTours) whose growth rivals Bocas Del Toto as a visitor’s boom town.
Panama’s Chiriqui province is the western most province on Panama’s Pacific Coast bordering Costa Rica. A rich agricultural region and a land of eternal spring where bright flowers grow everywhere .The climate ranges from the hot lowlands near the Pacific to the high mountain valleys and Volcan Baru, which has an elevation above 4000 meters at its summit. Although there has been much deforestation, the higher elevations still contain some of the original mystical drifting cloud cover forests, and are one of the best places in Central America to view exotic wildlife, such as the resplendent quetzal.
