Bocas del toro (land and sea in 4k)
Bocas del Toro Panama is a unique destination on the Caribbean coast of Panama that has something for everyone. This chain of islands has surfing, fishing, diving, ATV's, boating, partying, chilling, hiking, and more. This is a place for nonstop adventure and fun. On out trip, we focused on surfing, hiking, and riding ATV's to less traveled areas of the main island. We had fun on the main island and traveled as far as an hour and a half away to a indian village for some unspoiled surf and hiking. We used gopro camera and drones to capture all the fun.
I filmed and captured the ground shots with the gopro hero 5 and the air shots with the DJI mavic pro. All shots were in 4k ant 30fps.

Panama-Beautiful Boquete.(Valley of the Flowers) Part 3
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
BOQUETE
In a beautiful valley in the highlands of Chiriqui province in Panama lies the village of Boquete. Beautiful mountains surround it and the Boquete River flows through the center of the valley and the village.
Boquete is called the Valley of the Flowers and Eternal Spring. Beautiful flowering vegetation is abundant throughout the village and in the modest to luxurious home gardens that give Boquete its unique charm and is a favorite vacation destination for Panamanians...we have provided a list of lodging accommodations in Boquete, some with virtual tours, so make sure you have reservations.
The land is lush and the weather is pleasant year-round due to its location in the high valley. The people are friendly, amenities are plentiful, the beauty is endless and the serenity is timeless.
Boquete was founded in 1911 and in Spanish, the word 'Boquete' means a gap or opening. It was precisely this gap in the Continental Divide that provided travelers, in the 1850's, a more northerly short cut to the Pacific, en route to the goldfields around San Francisco. The first explorers, who included the Swiss, Yugoslavs, Swedish, Germans and North Americans returned to settle in Boquete.
Volcanic soil predominates the area, having once emanated from the now dormant, Volcan Baru. Otherwise, the highlands around Boquete comprise colluvial and sedimentary soil.
The indigenous people, the Ngöbe-Buglé, or Guaymies, live in their nearby Comarca and in the hills around Boquete. They supply the low-cost labor required by local coffee farms and plantations.
Two rivers run through Boquete; the Rio Cochea, and the Rio Caldera, which flows through the town center. Their waters provide sustenance for an abundance of oranges, grapefruit and other local fruits and flowers, including the ubiquitous novia (impatiens), lily, hibiscus, orchids, carnations and sunflowers, among others.
By Air:
Flying into Panama City you can either , take a flight to David (approx. 1 hour/$60 each way) and then about $30 for a taxi from David to Boquete. You can rent a car (approx. 6 hours) , or a bus (approx 6- 10 hours depending on whether it is an express or not) .
Panama City has two airports; International Airport, Tocumen, about 35 km from downtown.
Domestic Flights : Panama has a good domestic flight network, the main domestic airlines are Mapiex and Aeroperlas, assessed by the US Federal Aviation as operated in compliance with international aviation standards. All domestic airlines operate out of Panama's main domestic airport, Aeropuerto Marcos A. Gelabert, located in the Albrook area of Panama City, commonly known as Albrook Airport.
Baggage weight allowance on domestic flights is a total of 25 lbs. for checked baggage and carry on combined. You will also be asked to state your body weight at check in. The small domestic planes have maximum weight limits. Overweight charges (for baggage) varies according to destination, but is rarely more than $1.00 per pound.
It is approximately $30 Taxi fare between airports. Make sure you ask the fare before getting into the Taxi.Aeroperlas is the main interior airline with three flights a day to David. The cost is about $76 each way . There is an early morning, mid morning and late afternoon flight.
By Bus:
Express buses leave the main Panama City bus terminal at Albrook for David. $15.and is approximately a 7 hour trip with a rest about halfway. Your bus will arrive in David and from there you can take a taxi to Boquete, approx. $25. The buses are large tourist buses and air conditioned. (make sure the air conditioning is working)
Many people traveling to Boquete also visit Bocas del Toro, a chain of islands in the Caribbean sea on the western end of Panama.

Central America Hotspots: Panama & Costa Rica
According to USA Today, with their tropical rain forests, mountains and unspoiled beaches, Costa Rica and Panama are chock-full of what you expect to find on an adventure travel expedition. Not surprisingly, both countries are popular destinations for everyone from rugged backpackers to luxury vacationers who want to experience a bit of living on the edge.
There's so much to do in each of these countries, it can be hard to know where to start.
Panama:
WHAT YOU CAN'T MISS IN Panama is seeing the Panama Canal. Officially completed in 1914, this incredible feat of engineering is actually considered one of the seven modern wonders of the world (up there with the Empire State Building and the Golden Gate Bridge).
Going through the canal is quite a process, especially as a tourist. But it is truly an incredible and once-in-a-lifetime experience. It takes ~6 hours on average to go through the Canal on a tourist excursion. It is a very slow process but along the way the history of the Canal will come to life making it an awe-inspiring few hours (the drinks, sunshine, and good vibes also add to the enjoyment). I highly recommend watching a documentary beforehand (great one in the links down below) so that you know the history behind the Canal.
Also while in Panama, visit Panama City, which is Panama's capital. It's a modern city framed by the Pacific Ocean and the man-made Panama Canal. Its cobblestoned historic center, Casco Viejo, is famed for colonial-era landmarks like the neoclassical Palacio Presidencial and bougainvillea-filled plazas lined with cafes and bars. You'll also notice from afar the city stands out as very tall and white against the blue skyline.
Limón, Costa Rica:
The Costa Rican province of Puerto Limón is known for its rich biodiversity, local food culture, and sandy Caribbean beaches. In Limón, Costa Rica, it's all about enjoying the wildlife and amazing lushness of the country. I recommend taking a kayak tour and seeing which wild animals you can spot (we saw Howler Monkeys and three-toed sloths)!
If you're looking for an amazing beach, look no further than Playa Bonita. It's Limón's most popular beach, and also its prettiest. It lies just a few meters due south of the bustling commercial sea port of Limón, but its wide swath of sand and tranquility are worlds away.
Check out the Tortuguero Canals, which is one of the most important nesting sites in the world for marine turtles such as the giant leatherback turtles. From July to September, thousands of turtles come ashore along these world-famous beaches to lay their eggs. The canals are an extensive system of natural and man-made waterways used both for transportation and jungle exploration.
Costa Rica is also known for its Cacao and coffee. See if you can find the cacao plant grown in the region (hint: it doesn't look like what you would expect... check out the video to see what the cacao plant actually looks like).
Biodiversity:
Costa Rica is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet due to its 12 ecosystems brimming with wildlife, plants, tress, and more than 800 species of exotic birds. On this trip, we were on land for less than eight hours and managed to see two different types of monkeys, sloths, turtles, dogs, a number of different fish, and so many different types of plants. Panama is incredibly diverse as well. It has over 10,000 species of plants and animals and rain forest that covers more than 5 million acres.
