  :: School Trips to Latin America > Boquete, Panama
School Trip Boquete, Panama

Panama is, in many ways the hidden gem of Central America. Years of US influence have meant that Panama is one of the more developed countries of the region, yet at the same time it has more square miles of protected National Park land than Costa Rica and an equal level of biodiversity. It is a cultural melting pot of the Americas where you can find cultural influences of Panama’s indigenous people, migrants from South America and the Caribbean, the USA and of course the Spanish settlers.

Boquete itself is a paradise destination in a spectacular setting in Panama's cloud forest. It is safe, peaceful, beautiful and inexpensive. Boquete’s climate is close to perfect; it is warm during the day and pleasantly cool at night. It is one hour from the beaches on the Pacific coast and 3 hours from the white sanded, palm-lined beaches of Bocas del Toro in the Caribbean, but it is the spectacular cloud forest and mountains which provides most of the exciting activities on offer in the afternoons when you can explore the Quetzl’s trail in the national park, or zip line through the high treetops and appreciate the rich diversity of the cloud forest in all its glory.
