Today is the last day of the wonderful Orchid Fair in Boquete this event begins in the middle of April lasting four days. What is so fantastic about the Feria de Orquideas it takes place during Semana Santa. Many tourists from outside Panama including Panamanians visit Boquete at this time. The town is swarming with visitors and traffic can be slower than usual.
Boquete known as the capital of flowers many of Panama’s beautiful flowers and orchids are gown in this area. The tropical weather it is perfect for growing orchids due to the highlands where the air is moist and the light bajarenque fuels the growth of these beautiful exotic flowers. This fair is devoted to highlighting the most beautiful available in Boquete. All Orchids purchased are reasonably priced along with other lovely flowers.
In the center of the center of the Feria is arguably the jewel in the Feria’s crown – the display of the local orchid society. These blooms are truly as exotic and exquisite as the orchid name implies and ribbons are given to very best orchid.
Our gardener, Alcibiades has a Finca - he and his wife grow many orchids and sell them not only at Feria de Flores, Feria de Orquideas but as well at other nearby Ferias. The day we visited the fair their orchid stall was full of customers purchasing their beautiful orchids. We wish them many successful days in their orchid business.
When you plan a visit to Boquete, I suggest you visit during Semana Santa and go to the Orchid Festival among others places to see. Check dates for the Orchid Festival prior to your visit.
