Do I need to own a car in Boquete, Panama?

Greeting expat community.

The easiest way to get around Boquete is with a Boquete resident because nobody knows Boquete like us, if your qcuriosity is for the transportation that you will use my best answer is by car.

Boquete is a very small town, you can go anywhere around town by foot but there are also many and very good places to see an they are not in a walking distance. I would take a taxi to take me to any specific place because the buses will leave you in the public streets and some lands have the building or the business you are visiting inside the property so leaving you a few steps from the main door would be more comfortable in a sunny day and more helpful in a rainy day. This way you can also enjoy the ride and enjoy the view that are always amazing.

This is if you are visiting Boquete but if you are planning on staying here you should think about buying a car. Parking in Boquete is free unlike other cities like New York or LA.

This is the most honest answer I can give you and it is based on my own experience and tourist stories that I’ve heard about. Boquete is a wonderful place and you will love doing sightseeing here.

 

I wish you a very good day.
