Where to go from Paso Canoas
David
45 minutes from the border. Panama's third-largest city and the commercial hub of Chiriquí — restaurants, shopping, pharmacies, and the gateway to the whole region.
Boquete
About 1.5 hours from Paso Canoas. Highland coffee town with world-class hiking, cool mountain air, and one of Panama's most-visited destinations.
Volcán
Cloud forests, Barú Volcano National Park, and orchid gardens in the Chiriquí highlands. Our home base is here.
Playa Barqueta
A Pacific beach roughly 1 hour from the border, on the way toward David. A popular day trip for those combining coast and highlands.
Playa Las Lajas
A longer, quieter Pacific beach known for its scenery — a relaxed stop for those not in a rush.
Puerto Armuelles
A quiet port town on the Burica Peninsula — worth a detour for those wanting to step off the Pan-American and explore something less visited.
