Opened in 1997, this history museum chronicles the planning, construction and present-day operation of Panama's landmark canal.
Great museum to learn about Panama Canal and also about Panama history. A must while visiting this beautiful country !

Built soon after the first Spanish settlement in the 16th century, this small church features the famous Golden Altar (Altar de Oro), which is made entirely of pure gold.
We enjoyed walking through the church in Old Town. The alter is amazing, covered in gold leaf. The only thing I found odd was that the “prayer candles” were electric! I guess it makes sense when you don’t have someone to monitor an open flame in an old wood church. It was a quiet, cool, contemplative place to visit.

A visit to the Miraflores Visitor Center is an experience not to be missed. Other than seeing the ships passing through the locks, and learn about the great engineering behind it, visitors can enjoy the video presentations and the visit to the fascinating Canal history museum.

Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the Biomuseo is his only work in Latin America and the tropics. The building was designed to tell the story of how the isthmus of Panama rose from the sea, uniting two continents, separating a vast ocean in two, and changing the planet's biodiversity forever.
This is a great museum to learn about the formation of the isthmus, its evolutionary importance, and the natural history of Panama up to the present day. The exhibits on several floors are state-of-the-art. The museum not only celebrates the wonders of natural life in Panama and its two oceans, it also teaches us about man's impact on the environment, the perils of climate change, and the need to preserve and protect the natural world around us.

The library opened its doors in February 2012 as the first lending library in Panama. The modern 3 story stone and glass building is a distinguished addition to the Boquete landscape. Free wi-fi and computers with internet are available, while the 3rd floor art gallery features monthly displays from local artists. Check the online calendar for concerts and activities. Open Mon-Sat 10am-7pm
Wow, am I thrilled that Boquete offers such a wonderful library for use by residents and tourists alike! They have a nice selection of fiction, written in English, that is separated for easy browsing. Other categories include books in English and Spanish mixed together. As a temporary resident, I applied for my library card right away. It was ready in just a few days, but I was allowed to check out books while waiting for the card. As a tourist I paid $20, but will be refunded that amount before leaving the area. Its a beautiful, clean, well organized library, with a photo gallery on the top floor. I'd recommend it to all! Super friendly, helpful librarians are there to answer your questions.

This is a great mall. It's 4 levels with banks, pharmacies, electronics, designer shops and restaurants... all of the things you'd find in a mall. There are cinemas and book stores. It's full of brand name stores that North Americans will recognize and brand name stores that South Americans will recognize. It's big and bright and clean and a good place to while away some time if you have free time.
