Day 1: Arrive through David
David is Chiriquí’s commercial and transport center, making it a practical first stop for supplies, banking, healthcare and onward travel. Allow time for a meal in the city before heading into the highlands.
Use the directory to compare current restaurants, services and places to stay. Confirm hours and directions with each business before visiting.
Day 2: Coffee and mountain air in Boquete
Begin with a locally operated coffee experience, then leave space for a relaxed lunch and a walk through town. Boquete’s elevation brings cooler weather, but conditions change quickly, so a light rain layer is useful throughout the year.
Choose businesses based on location and the kind of experience you want rather than trying to fit every attraction into one day.
Day 3: Volcán and Tierras Altas
Travel west toward Volcán for farm country, broad mountain views and a quieter highland pace. Start early, check driving conditions and select a few stops close to one another.
Finish with a local meal or an overnight stay if you want more time for western Chiriquí.
