[edit] Understand

Chiriquí Province lies in the southwestern part of Panamá with its capital in David. Chiricanos are like the Texans of Panamá, and are loud, outgoing, and very proud of their province. However, they really seem to have something to be proud of. Chiriquí arguably has the friendliest people and the best landscape in Panamá.

[edit] See

  • The jagged, lush green mountains of Chiriquí rise to the top of Volcán Barú, Panamá's largest volcano.The volcano lies in a national park, and the summit can be reached by hiking along a very rugged road. Supposedly both the Caribbean and Pacific are visible from the summit of the volcano, but clear days are difficult to come by. Your best chance for clear weather is in the middle of the Central American summer, January or February. Boquete and Cerro Punta both make good bases for visiting the park.
