Organized Tours From Boquete
Rio Monte Ecological Tours (tel 720 1327), at the Panamonte hotel, organize expensive tours and excursions by car to the volcano and to the owner's coffee finca, where you're almost guaranteed to see a resplendent quetzal between January and August. Expediciones Tierras Altas (tel 720 1342 or 691 6152), across the bridge to the right as you head out on the road towards David, is run by enthusiastic young locals who offer similar tours at much lower prices, with the emphasis on hiking in the forests north of the volcano. Chiriqui River Rafting (tel 720 1505, fax 720 1506, www.panama-rafting.com ) runs year-round whitewater-rafting trips (US$75-100 per day) on the rivers that run down from the Chiriqui Highlands through grade II, III and IV rapids.
