This Panamanian province borders both Costa Rica and the Pacific. Consisting of a mixture of highlands, cloud rainforest and coral reefs, there is a ton to do as far as outdoor activities in Chiriqui go. Not to mention, the sheer amount of hiking trails offers travelers access to some exotic plant and wildlife species. When visiting the region among the must-dos: visiting the waterfalls which are beyond breathtaking, hiking, rock climbing, river rafting, as you can see a veritable paradise for the outdoor enthusiast awaits in Chiriqui.
Said to contain three “lost” waterfalls, this jungle trail is truly an experience. The trail itself isn’t that long but does pose a few twists and turns; there is a small entrance fee, but it is totally worth it.
Essentially a naturally formed canyon located in Gualaca, Los Cangilones is thousands of years old. People visiting the site entertain themselves by “cliff” jumping and of course swimming. It almost appears as if a crack has formed in the earth. The water is ultra-blue and so jumping in is too much of a temptation to resist.
One of the area’s more popular beaches, here you get white sand and crystal blue water. Not to mention, there are many restaurants, bars and shops lining the waterfront. Many also come here for the incredible surfing.
