  • 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.

Hongoaventuras” en Isla Galeta: Exploracion cientificaía traves del manglar

Expositores: Almunosdel Colegio Ebenezer y Becarios “James Currie” 2010

Hongosadventuras


Los hongos son seres vivos fascinantes y enigmáticos. Las formas de hongos que conocemos en el planeta van desde minúsculas levaduras, utilizadas en la industria cervecera, hasta macrohongos que observamos con facilidad en un bosque tropical. Sin embargo,poco se conoce sobre su diversidad y, especialmente, sobre las condiciones ambientales que los hacen prosperar.

Seis estudiantes y dos profesores del Colegio Ebenezer de la provinciade Colón se preguntaron si existía mayor diversidad de hongos en los bosques húmodos o en los bosques de manglares que rodean el paisaje protegido de Isla Galeta.

Los resultados de esta investigación revelaron la presencia de 20 especies de hongos en los manglares y 100 en bosques húmedos adyacentes a Punta Galet. ¡Nunca se es demasiado joven para realizar investigación científica!
