Description
Great find! We were driving to the coffee farm at Finca Lérida when we noticed a Camping Area sign for another place (Lérida has hotel rooms, but doesn’t allow camping). The property is called Ambrosio Castillo. Cafetalera Don Nery is at the top of the hill with a gorgeous view. And if you continue down the hill, you’ll arrive at a flat grassy area where you can camp. You are surrounded on all sides by hills and coffee plants. So many bird sounds and sightings, and I even saw a capybara in the brush. There is a metal building with a cold shower in one room and toilet in another. Toilet paper provided, and both rooms are very clean. The whole property is well-kept. There are flood lights that are on automatically from 7-11 pm (we didn’t find them bothersome). The owner offered us a remote for the lights, but we didn’t mess with it. Lots of coffee workers passing by on foot and by vehicle, but they were all friendly and we felt very comfortable.
It is a steep, gravel hill to get up and down. Packed out overland vehicles without 4x4 will have to work, but I know you can make it because I saw all the local vehicles doing it.
Current price is $15 per vehicle.
They don’t require you to contact ahead of time, but here are some contact methods if needed:
Cafetalera Don Nery: 6998-6414

Gabriel Castillo (son of owner): 6792-7455 (speaks English)
If you want the coolness of Boquete outside the sounds and bustle of the city, this place is so perfect.
