Finca Lérida
A century-old coffee estate founded in the 1920s, where you can join a coffee tour and taste Geisha; its trails are also prime birdwatching spots.
Finca Lérida lies on hillsides about 1,700 metres above sea level, north of Boquete. Founded in the 1920s by a Norwegian engineer, it is one of the oldest coffee estates in the area and also runs a boutique hotel. The coffee tour takes about 2–3 hours and covers the coffee gardens, processing plant and roastery, with tastings of several coffees including Geisha, priced at around $40–80. The cloud-forest trails on the estate offer sightings of resplendent quetzals and several kinds of hummingbirds, and birdwatching guides are available. Advance booking is required; the estate is about 15 minutes by car from town.
