Study Spanish in Paradise: Boquete, the perfect place for a Spanish course!

The valley of Boquete is located in the western highlands of Panama at 1,200 meters above the sea level. Nestled amongst the country's most mountainous region, this peaceful town is situated between the Caldera River and the Barú Volcano.

Surrounded by untouched tropical rain forests, Boquete is just 1 hour away from unspoiled white sand beaches in the Pacific and 3 hours from Bocas del Toro in the Caribbean, offering students plenty of opportunities to hit the beach during the weekend to enjoy the warmth of the sun and get to do some of the most amazing scuba diving, snorkeling and surfing that they could imagine.

Boquete, known as the best coffee producer in the world, enjoys a sunny, cool mountain climate, comfortable all year around, considered nearly perfect, with temperatures ranging between 60° to 80° F (16° - 28° C). Thanks to its 3,000-foot elevation, the area's microclimates deduct 10 crucial degrees (Celsius) from the incessant and humid lowland heat allowing you to have Spanish classes in a suitable environment.

Boquete is safe, beautiful, inexpensive & exciting and can be easily accessed through 1 hour daily flights from Panama City to David, the country's second most important city, just 30 minutes away by car.

The "Valley of the Flowers and the Eternal Spring", is home to 20,000 habitants whose cultural roots can be traced to Native Indians, Spaniards, Europeans and North Americans among other ethnicities. Its first settlers came from other areas of Panama, as well as other countries such as Switzerland, Sweden, Germany and North America. All give shape to the cultural melting pot that Boquete is today. Most farms and houses still have architectural styles that are reminiscent of these other countries.

On the sheer mountains that surround the valley live the Ngöbe Bugles, an indigenous ethnic group who are highly skilled artisans, famous for their colorful chaquiras (beaded necklaces) and "nahuas", traditional dresses.

Boquete is considered the ecotourism capital of Panama, you name it, Boquete has it! For extreme adrenaline, White Water River Rafting in the Chiriquí Viejo. For coffee lovers, Coffee Tours to coffee plantations and processing farms in Palmira, Palo Alto and Alto Quiel. To admire the beauty of the tropical cloud forest, Zip Line Canopy Tours in Palo Alto. For a challenging trek and a chance to view the both oceans from Panama's highest point, Hike and Camp to the top of the Barú Volcano. For the most gorgeous hike, complete the Quetzal's Trail from Cerro Punta to the entrance of La Amistad National Park. For a relaxing afternoon, the Caldera Hot Springs. For the western type, Horseback Riding through Caldera's valleys. To admire nature's abundance, Bird Watching Tours. For extreme sports enthusiasts, Rock Climbing & Rappelling at Los Ladrillos in Bajo Mono. If you feel the need for speed, Four Wheel ATV tours.

If you like to dance, party, share a couple of drinks or just chill out and socialize, from Boquete's nightlife you can choose several local bars: Zanzi Bar, La Cabaña, La Huaca, Colors, Bar Amigos, Cosechas Wine Boquete, etc. Jazz concerts and theatre plays are also popular in town.

There are plenty of gorgeous restaurants in Boquete. Just to mention a few: Hibiscus Restaurant, Pizzeria a Mi Modo, Machu Pichu, Antojitos Mexicanos, El Panamonte Bar & Restaurant, Palo Alto Restaurant and Delicias del Perú are amongst the best in Boquete.

This highly lush land has several amazing public gardens, like El Explorador and Mi Jardín es tu Jardín and it also home to an animal refuge called Paradise Garden.

David is the second largest city in Panama and is only 30 minutes away from Boquete. In David you can encounter several museums, a nice cinema where you can go to the movies and plenty of more discotheques, bars, shopping centers and restaurants.

If you come to Boquete you will never want to leave...
