We asked people living in Boquete to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Boquete, it is important to pack items that will help you adjust to the climate and terrain. Bring comfortable, lightweight clothing that can be layered, as temperatures can vary throughout the day. A raincoat and umbrella are also essential, as Boquete is known for its frequent rain showers. Sunscreen and a hat are also important, as the sun can be quite strong in the area. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring sturdy shoes for walking, as the terrain can be quite uneven. Finally, don't forget to bring any necessary medications and toiletries," explained one expat living in Boquete, Panama.

"Full size vacuum cleaner. I brought all of my slacks. In Panama we are going through a phase of slacks and jeans with 3" zippers. If your are not wearing a thong, you better have a very long shirt. I don't have any idea when this style will change. There are no Talbot's type shops here. Shoes are reasonably priced. We wish we had brought power tools. They are more expensive here than at Home Depot. If you have a computer, bring a modem. Bring your car. Roads vary from super highways to dirt roads. New cars are expensive in Panama," said another expat in Alto Boquete, Panama.
