St. Columb's Park is a perfect spot for a getaway in nature while still in close proximity of the city. Pack a picnic and, if you are lucky, there will be a fun event taking place at the St Columb's Park House. There is a children's playground at the bottom end of the park.

The event is a fantastic opportunity for visitors from abroad and from Panama to truly appreciate the agricultural importance of Chiriqui. Last year, over 35,000 flowers were displayed at the fair, including orchids from Australia, Japan, the United States, Costa Rica and, of course, Panama. While flowers are the main attraction at the fair, local agricultural produce is also showcased, including potatoes, strawberries, cabbage, and lettuce. The most important of all the produce is the coffee, which is “cupped” or tasted here by local experts. Without a doubt, the Boquete Flower Festival is one of Panama’s most popular rural events, receiving around 100,000 visitors during its ten days, and with the income generated from the fair hovering around the $2 million mark, it is extremely important to the area from an economical point of view.

Palm Springs feels like an open-air gallery of mid-century modern architecture, where the work of legends like Richard Neutra, Albert Frey, and E. Stewart Williams shapes nearly every block. From iconic glass-walled homes to bold commercial buildings, these designs embody the minimalist lines and creative spirit of the era. Stop by the visitors center for a map or hop on a guided tour to uncover architectural gems that blend mid-century flair with desert landscapes.
