Home » Panama » Panama Major Cities and Regions » BoqueteBoquete was selected by Fortune magazine’s 2005 Retirement Guide as one of the 5 best places in the world to retire. Boquete used to be one of Panama’s best-kept secrets, but in 2001 when the magazine of the American Association for Retired Persons also chose Boquete as one of the top places in the world for Americans to retire, all of that changed. This rating was based on safety, beauty, climate and the cost-of-living. Boquete is a scenic mountain town in the highlands of West Panama, and is considered a world-class tourist destination.
Panama’s western city of Boquete is just 30 minutes from David, the capital of Panama’s Chiriqui Province. Boquete is nestled among the country’s most mountainous region, at 3,600 feet. Situated between the Caldera River, which lies to the east, and Baru Volcano to its west, Boquete enjoys a comfortable year-round climate that is ideal for active retirement living and outdoor adventure seekers. The near perfect weather and rich, fertile soil has created an ideal setting for floral exportation and coffee growing.
