Chiriquí Province

Chiriquí is a province in western Panama bordering Costa Rica and the Pacific Ocean. In the northern Chiriquí Highlands is Parque Nacional Volcán Barú, named for a volcano that's Panama's highest peak. The Los Quetzales Trail winds through the region's cloud forests, linking the rustic agricultural community of Cerro Punta with Boquete, a base for outdoor pursuits like hiking, climbing and white-water rafting.
