JÖGUÄTA Waterfalls, Panama
JÖGUÄTA, (Indigenous Ngöbe-Buglé language translates to "Flat stone") is a hidden natural spot located in deep forests of southeast Boquete. I used to visit this place with my father when I was a kid and learned how to swim there. The place is an incredible peaceful, colorful location where it is possible to see a huge range of butterflies, birds, and other animals. I have been visiting this place alone for meditation during many years and now I am turning it into a touristic attraction in order to protect it from developing projects including hydroelectrics which sadly are slowly destroying our local rivers and its biodiversity. JÖGUÄTA offers waterfall rappelling, slackline over the water, swimming, water solo climbing, natural toboggan and even tarzan swing! Come and enjoy the beauty of this place and its perfectly combined elements.
