It is sometimes difficult to become acquainted with a new area especially if the language and/or culture are different. Fortunately, the people of Boquete, called "Boqueteños", are very friendly and willing to help newcomers get acquainted. For those interested in Boquete, but unable to visit personally, there is a discussion forum available to read all about Boquete and even get your questions answered:

We now have an online version of Boquete's first newspaper, the
Bajareque Times
Once you do have the chance to visit Boquete, mark Tuesday at 10:30 AM on your calendar. Every Tuesday at the Panamonte Hotel there is an information and networking meeting lasting 1 1/2 hours. The meeting features an invited speaker followed by a question and answer session. This meeting provides an excellent opportunity to meet both expatriates and natives alike and get all your questions answered in person.
