Things to do in Western Panama & Cordillera
Moist Caribbean trade-wind coast in Bocas del Toro yields to Chiriquí’s 3 475 m Barú volcano and the coffee-green Cordillera Central. The mix of coral cays, cloud-forest ridges and steep Pacific foothills draws reef-break surfers (Carenero, Bluff), live-aboard scuba divers, multi-day jungle treks, Barú summit sunrises, white-water rafting on the Chiriquí Viejo and cool high-altitude gravel or MTB routes through shade-grown coffee estates.
