distinctive bed & breakfast where the beauty of the
surroundings and the quality of the service will make you
want to return time and time again.
Day 10: Arise, check
your pulse, and then go whitewater
rafting! A combination of whitewater
excitement, spectacular panoramas, and possible brushes with
the natives make this trip special. Choose from more technical
river sections of class IVs or milder trips that are perfect
for beginners and families. Rest your weary muscles in the
quiet calm of the mountains. Stay at Los Establos.
Day 11: Get
another early start today and hike Los Quetzales Trail.
With a little luck, you will view the resplendent quetzal,
as well as other birds native to the area. Beautiful

unique mountain of Boquete. Stay at Los Establos.

of Boca Brava and the

Mia! Cala Mia is made up of 11 exquisitely
designed bungalow suites, each suite is within 10 meters of
the beach, or bayside. Keys and shoes are unnecessary
as you enjoy the fabulous views from the vantage point of
the eclectic bar and restaurant, or venture to the spa and
yoga center via a hanging bridge. ( 5% of room rates
go towards supporting indigenous populations, even more of a
reason to choose this divine hotel).
