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.

Crossing the Continental Divide • Another Panama Adventure

Many visitors to Panama like to travel around the country to experience all the different climates and cultures. Aeroperlas, one of the local regional airlines, at one time, flew from David to Bocas. They have recently stopped this service. However, the trip from Boquete to Bocas is still possible by private taxi and modern bus. The transportion is reliable and much more fun than taking a flight. You have the opportunity to experience crossing the continental divide over the mountains; and you will see more of the country from the ground than you would in the air. Total time is about 4 hours, not much more than taking a flight; you save time at the airport, flight time, and the ground transportation to and from the David airport. The cost is equal to or less than flying.
