Panama Camping Park

Yet to make up your mind about what kind of expedition you want to embark on? Worry not, as there's a smorgasbord of super outdoor stuff on hand at the local activity centre (10 minutes' walk) – rafting, climbing, horse riding and other ents should keep a variety of sporty sorts cheerily occupied. The best way to unwind after intense alfresco exertion? For many, the answer will be sampling local cerveza at the Boquete Brewing Company (15 minutes' walk), while others may prefer a stint at La Estancia open-air pool (10 minutes' drive). Also of interest is Finca Dos Jefes (10 minutes), a coffee farm that organises the harvest of its caffeinated crop around to the lunar calendar for a dash of extra goodness. Once suitably perked up, get yourself to El Explorador gardens (10 minutes) for rambles filled with local flora, or don some unflattering but very vital protective equipment and set out on a canopy tour by zipwire (15 minutes). Slightly further afield but well worth the trip is the Lost Waterfalls hiking trail (25 minutes), a valley with three pic-worthy waterfalls that takes two to three hours to visit (plus a little more if you fancy stopping to swim).
