Descrição
Hello, I'm Luis, a local from Panama who loves nature, travel, culture, music, and interacting with open-minded people.

I grew up in Panama City but eventually moved to this small mountain town looking for a better quality of life. I've been hosting workawayers for close to 6 years now and the experience has been wonderful.

I've been lucky to meet and spend some time with really nice people from Germany, Argentina, USA, UK, Netherlands, Poland, Canada, Belgium, Austria, Estonia, Finland, Sweeden, and Switzerland. I appreciate those who come to help me out very much so I'll do my best to help you have an excellent experience in Boquete.

Right now I'm in the process of finishing the build of a tiny home. I'm doing paint, making furniture, and a few other things in the garden and the forest trail. No prior experience needed, only a positive attitude and being in good physical conditions because the work sometimes can be hard and walking around in Boquete is a workout because of all the hills. Besides that, taking care of cooking lunch is of great help.

If you like nature and appreciate peaceful and quiet surroundings to experience life at a slower pace, you will love it here. There are some beautiful nature hikes in the area and the coffee produced in the local farms is of the highest quality and quite amazing!

Algo mais...
Boquete is one of the top adventure travel destinations in Central America. Temperature is like AC year-round, perfect for hiking in the lush green fairy tale looking cloudforest. There are also small farms everywhere producing high quality coffee.

Most travelers will find it easy to get to Boquete. And once here the town is small and easy to figure out. One important thing to point out is that being a mountain town, there are lots of hills so walking on flat terrain is rare. If you are in good shape and enjoy hiking, you will love it here, if not, then this might not be the right place for you.

There are stores to buy essentials close to the house, otherwise the town center is 30-40 minutes walking with supermarkets, internet cafes, public library, and farmer market where you can find a great variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and because it is a top travel destination, tour operators, restaurants, and a few bars.

Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Adriana)

It was very nice meeting Adriana and having her stay at the house. She helped me out with painting, sanding, cleaning, cooking and did a great job. One thing you notice right away is that she is very intelligent and you don't need to say much for her to understand what needs to be done. She speaks perfect Spanish, as well as English, German,… read more

Klaudia was looking for a place to take a break from her extended travels but that didn't mean slowing down and not doing anything. She showed up to the house with so much energy and willingness to help out that besides the things I was working on, she kept coming up with other things she could help me out with and that was awesome. She is very… read more

I spent 9 days with Luis - it was a great time. Luis is a very nice person and his home is an oasis of peace. The work I was doing (painting, gardening) was pleasant and the host made sure everything was okay. I always enjoy cooking - so it was great. I really felt at home. Beautiful time.I recommend it with all my heart.

I had an amazing stay at Luis's place. The place is absolutely beautiful, in the mountains of Boquete with a view on the volcano. The house is surrounded by forest/jungle and has a peaceful vibe. After more or less an hour there I felt more calm and after the two weeks I felt completely restored. The work I did was mainly around the house, some… read more
