Finca Panda Coffee Farm & Luxury Casitas

Five private casitas on a working coffee farm in Boquete

About Finca Panda Coffee Farm & Luxury Casitas

Finca Panda Coffee Farm & Luxury Casitas is a working coffee farm in Volcancito, Boquete, with five private casitas, each with its own jacuzzi and gas fire pit. The coffee manager leads farm and cupping tours, and breakfast is delivered to your door. Downtown Boquete is a 10 to 20 minute drive; David airport (DAV) has rental cars.

Finca Panda sits in Volcancito, an area of Boquete that is a 10 to 20 minute drive from the center of town, depending on the route. The setting is a working coffee farm of about 10 hectares: mature coffee, citrus and avocado trees, patches of forest and several kilometers of private roads and walking paths. Only hotel guests and staff may enter, and you receive a map of the grounds when you arrive.

The casitas are named for coffee varieties. Caturra and Catuai have two bedrooms; Geisha and Pacamara have one. Each casita comes with a private jacuzzi, a gas fire pit, air conditioning and a full kitchen. Pacamara, for example, has 600 square feet indoors, a 200 square foot patio and a double-headed shower set against floor-to-ceiling windows.

Coffee is the thread running through a stay. The farm grows Geisha, Caturra, Catuai, Obata and Pacamara, and it processes and roasts on site. Coffee manager Ruben Batista leads a farm and processing tour and a professional-style cupping, which can be combined. A breakfast arrives at your casita each morning. For a day out, horseback tours run from Rancho Nuovo Mundo, a ranch nearby.
