Weather in Boquete, Panama
Since 2002, the world's retirement population has been discovering Boquete as a retirement haven with low cost of living, perfect weather and beautiful people. As a result, unemployment here is low and quality of life is high. Boquete weather is characterized by a warmer Dry Season (December through March) known as Summer, and a cooler Wet Season (April through November) known as Winter. Temperatures are highly dependent on elevation, cloud cover and rainfall, with variances of up to 20 degrees Farenheit between the sea level cities of Panama City and David, to the 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) above sea level elevation of Boquete. Nights and sometimes even days, on the summit of Volcan Baru at 4,000 meters (13,000 feet), can get VERY cold so be sure to prepare for this if you intend to scale the summit. The climatic conditions and sharp incline in topography make for breathtaking beauty, as well as several micro-climates within the valley itself.

Quantum of Solace • Back Drop Panama

Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond-007 film, is about to explode on the screen. Being an avid James Bond addict I was thrilled when I heard that some filming was taking place in Panama. I thought, great promotion for Panama. However, I was a little dismayed when I found out that the sceens from the Casco Viejo and Panama Canal would be presented as Bolivia. Panama is so rich in history and Latin American culture it is unfortuante that we will not be represented as the true backdrop for this blockbuster film. So don't be fooled--you're in Panama.
