Our Panamanian neighbors in town are always helpful and enthusiastic about the beauty and history of the Chiriqui area.
Valle Escondido, a gated 9 hole golf course neighborhood, is just a short walk (15 min) from the small but bustling downtown area in Boquete. For us, a day of hiking, shopping or birding usually winds up with a cool drink along the river somewhere considering our choices of Italian fare (Il Pianista), American-Familiar (Bistro Boquete), Peruvian seafood (Delicias de Peru / Machu Picchu) or charcoal-seared steak from the Argentine parilla. For fun, add zip-line tours, river rafting (class II up to IV+), horses or rented ATVs to your To-Do list. Or just put your feet up on our large terrace and enjoy a cold, handmade pina colada as you take in the view across the valley with the Quebrada Grande chuckling below.
This home is perfect for a couple. It also easily fits two couples or a family group of 4-6 as each bedroom has its own private bath. We even have a playpen which doubles as a sleeping crib for infants. There is overflow sleeping in the library. Close to town, yet away from traffic in a secluded corner of Valle Escondido, you will enjoy a nice combination of convenience, privacy and quiet. (The entire hacienda of 6BR/5BA can be rented-contact us for details).
This home was built by us with another couple as a winter getaway, not as a rental, but our work schedule intrudes on our traveling this year, so we are sharing it. Allow more time than you think you will need. There is lots to do (or not do). We absolutely love it here and daydream often about our next holiday, living in Hacienda Salsipuedes ('Leave if you can...') Warm regards, Nancy & Bruce, Owners
