TwoSailors Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Was this on the Volcan side or Boquete side? I doubt that "guide" will be popular any time soon! We hiked the Boquete side yesterday and the road that has been graded is a big improvement and we really did not see a lot of environmental damage because of it. We did not see any rescue activity and the weather was perfect. We signed in and saw in the book a good 2-3 dozen folks already on their way up. Lots of hikers coming down and more 4 x 4's going up and down as well. We only went to 8000 feet. The zip line facilities that were being installed last year have been abandoned. Finca El Oasis is still closed up and no sign of life. ( Last year it was supposed to be re-opening soon.)
