Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Boquete in the Chiriquí highlands is Panama's outdoor adventure and specialty coffee hub — the Lost Waterfalls trail, the Quetzal Trail (one of Central America's best birding hikes), and the white-water rafting on the Chiriquí River are all excellent solo activities that naturally group travelers. The coffee farm tours are superb. Boquete has a significant expat community and very good English.
