While the tourist industry is still growing, you can enjoy a few water sports here, such as: swimming, boating, and fishing. You can also ask at your hotel or resort's reservation desk about any seasonal water sports or new sports that you can enjoy as well. Chiriqui does have some beautiful beaches, so you can always take a break and relax on the beach, while soaking up some tropical sun!

Part of Panama, Chiriqui shares the Panamanian culture and traditions. Before the Spaniards discovered the island and introduced their culture here, there were many native tribes who called the island their home and you can still find some of their sacred sites today around the island. Chiriqui was officially established as part of Colombia, before Panama became a separate country.

With the growing industry here, you can find some great local shops to visit as well as some local monuments and museums. But, for the main part of the activities on Chiriqui, exploration is the way to go. You can check with your hotel's reservation desk to see what activities they offer guests or any new activities that are now available to you while you are in Chiriqui.
