David & Caldera, Panama
Anna´s entry:We stayed in David city for a few nights, and made several trips to other towns in the mountains. One of them was Caldera - famous for natural hot springs. Hot springs are called Los Pozos de Caldera, and they are known for their health-giving properties. Hot springs look like small pools in the ground surrounded by rocks, the water is coming virtually out of the ground, and the water temperature is pretty hot. After sitting in the springs for a few minutes, we would run down to the mountain river, and get cooled off in the stream water. It was a great refreshing experience. Also, we met a local family there - and they invited us to visit. Another town we visited in the mountain was Boquete - it is a very pretty place with mist-covered mountains, pristine forests, and cool refreshing streams, however, currently it is over-taken by westerners, who bought up the land and built up huge villas. I guess it reminds them of Switzerland... We hope that the pristine nature will be able to survive after all of this villa development nonsense, unfortunately, we have seen so much of the pristine beauty already gone...
