Boquete isn't just about coffee, hiking, and magical mist… It's also the perfect destination for exploring by bike. Whether you're looking for a peaceful ride through coffee plantations or a more demanding route into the mountains, this corner of Chiriquí offers options for all levels. Here, we'll guide you through the best routes, the ideal time to visit, and what you need to make the most of the experience.

Three routes to fall in love with mountain biking

• Pipeline Trail (Easy): Ideal for beginners or those with limited time. This route takes you through a cloud forest filled with unique sounds and vibrant life. Mostly flat and cool terrain. Perfect to combine nature and sport without too much effort.

• Los Ladrillos and Bajo Mono (Intermediate): A popular loop among local cyclists. Rural roads, mountain views, and the famous lava wall "Los Ladrillos." If you enjoy stopping for photos or a coffee break along the way, this is the route for you.

• Caldera and its hot springs (Advanced): For the more adventurous, this long and challenging route takes you to the natural hot springs of Caldera. Steep descents, demanding climbs, and a rewarding end: soaking in warm waters surrounded by forest.
