Boquete Sights

  1. Birdwatching at Finca Lérida

    Finca Lérida is a coffee farm owned by the Collins family, who are long-time residents of Boquete. Bordering their farm is prime habitat for the quetzal, the national bird of Guatemala that's nearly extinct there, but has found refuge in Chiriquí Province. In total, several hundred bird species have been identified in these woods, which makes Finca Lérida one of the premier bird-watching spots in Panama. The quetzals are most likely to be seen January through August.
