Finca Lerida, Chiriquí Highlands

Boquete (Chiriquí Highlands, Panama)

Description

Set on a coffee plantation, Finca Lerida is a small hotel with fine views of the plantations and hills beyond. The property has remained in the same family for over 100 years. The restaurant serves Panamanian and international cuisine.

Activities

Client comments and reviews

We loved Finca Lerida and had an excellent bird guide for our tour. The food wasn't very good though, and neither was the coffee. - L&CM (February 2025)

A lovely hotel and we really enjoyed the coffee tour. There were plenty of birds around the area so we took lots of photos. - KH (March 2019)

Finca Lerida was excellent. Nice stay there. Walked miles round the trails in search of Quetzals and failed miserably. Also did the coffee tour, which was fascinating. (The Los Quetzales Trail was brilliant, thank you so much for suggesting this. It is obviously surprisingly little used). - S&MH (February 2010)
