Spend a day exploring the nature and landscapes of Cerro Punta starting by walking through the lush forested gardens of Finca Dracula, then you will be introduced to the exotic orchids that grow in their collection. After a delicious homemade Panamanian lunch you will explore Cerro Punta, with its beautiful gardens, fresh strawberries and agricultural scenery.
Entry includes a group tour of the orchid collection in Spanish or English. You learn about cultivation and breeding, and of course the famous Dracula orchid bred here. Aftrewards you can spend as long as you like enjoying the extensive tropical garden. There is a cafe on site. Cerro Punta is a very attractive top end of a valley. The steep valley sides are cultivated, for growing vegetables up to the continuous forest cover along the ridges. It is very picturesque. Finca Dracula is a short walk from the bus stop (there is a frequent service from David about an hour away). No problem parking a car. There are beautiful walks up into the hills, and guided bird watching is rewarding and easily arranged. There are a few hotels, private rooms and restaurants in the neighbouring village, and a lovely flower nursery. Well worth a couple of days stay or longer..

We are the largest race horse breeding ranch in Panamá. Located in the center of Cerro Punta, we offer the opportunity to learn about race horse breeding and training. Enjoy a great tour with unique picture opportunities and amazing coffee.
The farm is easy to find due to the great signs. When I was there, I was the only person on the tour. The guide spoke only Spanish so I didn't get all of what she said. She explained a lot of technical info, the entry of new horses and how they are evaluated/trained for racing, the breeding and raising of the babies, the history of the farm and its champions, and the hospital and boarding facilities. I thought the tour would be a petting tour but these horses are worth so much money that now I understand why there wasn't any petting time (except for the Percheron that anyone can sit on and the guide will take your photo). I learned a lot about throughbreds and racing.
