The Canyon has been in Gualaca for thousands of years, as a geological formation that was pushed up from the ocean during the formation of the Isthmus of Panama. It’s interesting to see ancient sea fossils at this elevatio

It was awesome. Great way to see Boquete. The owner/operator is a cool guy from Boston. Gave lots of good info about the area and ex-pat life there in general. The bikes were easy to operate and Boquete is quite "hilly" so the extra boost was much needed and appreciated. If you go during rainy season, expect to get wet! We got soaked, and it actually made the experience more fun and memorable honestly. Thoroughly enjoyed it and strongly encourage anyone visiting Boquete to take this tour.

This tour is hands-on, so you get to experience all of the steps to making that perfect coffee. The tour is flexible enough that you get to spend more or less time in the areas that most interest you. (The hands-on picking and processing is only available during our harvest times and when we have fruit on the trees to pick.)

Inclusions: Coffee and/or Tea

What a unique and personalized experience for the entire family. From my 8 year old, teenagers , to adults the hands on tour was very unique and kept us entertained for over three hours. The owners provided in depth “farming” of the cherry to brew. We had no idea what it takes to drink your favorite cup of joe! I would not only encourage but I would go out of your way to visit the Casanga Farm. Five stars all the way.

Went on a 3 hour coffee tour ($30) to Finca Dos Jefes with pick up and drop off at Boquete Outdoor Adventures. Pesticide free specialty coffee plantation that pays decent wages to its workers. See coffee cherries and drying beds. Taste medium versus dark roast and cascara tea. In depth explanation of the coffee growing process and of farm-to-cup. Amy is fluent in English and super engaging, entertaining, and informative. I’ve been on other coffee tours before and this one was the best. Can buy bags of coffee beans to take home at the end (cash only). Boquete outdoor adventures charges 7% surcharge for credit card bookings.

We were very excited to be able to book this trip at the last minute as it was exactly what we wanted to do. After getting an email that appeared to say it was confirmed, we got an email later saying due to the roads, it would not be accessible for a week to go there so the trip was cancelled. It was too late for us to make other arrangements so we were stranded without plans for the next day. We did get to go to Canguilones in Gualaca today and the roads were fine. We asked our tour guide if there had been a problem with the roads and he said no. So the place is great, but we were not happy with Ruben Bayo.
