Highlands 3 Days/2 Nights
Day 1: Panama City to Chiriqui Highlands Transfer to the airport for a flight northward to the town of David
to begin the ascent into the Chiriqui Highlands of Panama. End the
day at the lofty (3800 ft. elevation) village of Boquete. Originally
settled by Swiss and German immigrants, it retains its quaint ambiance,
with views of the Baru Volcano, the extensive forest, and coffee plantations.
Spend the next two nights at the Panamonte Hotel, a small, cozy lodge
that's decorated with colonial artwork and country style furnishing.
Warm yourself by the fireplace this evening in the intimate bar. Day 2: Chiriqui Highlands After breakfast you will start your tour. The coffee tour begins in the fields of Boquete where you can get a glimpse of the three vital factors that influence the coffee's quality: the soil, the micro-climate, and the particular genetics of the variety. Next you will learn about the history, origin, qualities and secrets of coffee handling. In the second phase of the tour, you will learn about coffee production all the way from ripe coffee cherry to roasted bean. What makes this tour unique, besides the invaluable ecological reserve that the coffee plantation shares, is its history that was always tied to Toleff Boche Monniche. Toleff was a Norwegian engineer and graduate from the Royal College of Dresden, Germany, who worked on the design and construction of the Panama Canal's emergency gates. The tour ends at the Tasting Table where the long, intense and complex coffee process ends. This is also the place where you find out whether or not a whole year's work produced a high quality coffee. Those that participate will taste different varieties of coffee and learn how to distinguish between different taste tones. Instruction will be given on how to prepare a good cup of coffee by learning about water temperature, time, toasting and grinding, and different brewing methods like Coffee Maker, French Press, Drip brew and Boiling. This tour illustrates the coffee culture in a fun way, helping the participant better enjoy this legendary aromatic drink. After a tour like this, a cup of coffee will never taste the same! The afternoon is free to partake in a are a variety of optional activities: bird-watching, exploring and hiking on Baru Volcano, rafting the exciting Rio Chiriqui, or soaking in the medicinal hot springs at Caldera.
