Chiriquí is Panama's coffee capital — and, for riders who know it, a capital of mud. Four days of singletrack use Boquete as one comfortable base: shuttle up, trail down, hot tub at night.
We ride red soil through coffee farms, cross into Cerro Punta cloud forest and finish at the thermal waters of Caldera. Boutique lodging and mountain cooking mean no packing and unpacking every day.
This trip is built for riders with technique. There are roots, mist and natural features. There is also geisha coffee waiting at the bottom.
