  1. Los Pozos de Caldera

    The Boquete area's most famous attraction is the Los Pozos de Caldera, natural hot springs renowned for their health-giving properties. The springs are located on private land near the town of Caldera. If you get overheated in the springs, the pleasant Río Caldera is just a stone's throw away, and makes for a pleasant spot to cool off.

  2. Museo de Historia y de Arte José de Obaldía

    David's sole attraction is the modest Museo de Historia y de Arte José de Obaldía, a two-story colonial home that was constructed in 1880, and is furnished with original art and decor. Named after the founder of Chiriquí province, the museum also houses local archaeological artifacts and old photos of the canal during construction.

  3. Playa Barqueta

    This long and lovely dark-sand beach southwest of David is a popular weekend escape for city-folk, though you'll have the place all to yourself if you stop by here during the week. As inviting as the ocean seems, the riptides can really pick up here, but this is a great place to break out your surfboard if you've got one.
