Close to the Costa Rican border, on the banks of the Caldera River, sits Boquete. This small town, in Panama’s Chiriquí province, was founded in 1911. Today, it’s home to some 20,000 residents … of which a staggering 25% are expats. Seeing the area for the first time, you understand the appeal. The streets are draped with flowers of every kind and color …. artisanal markets line the sidewalks.
