Fly Albrook to David in under an hour or drive seven, then climb from the lowland plaza and a long grey beach into coffee country at Boquete and around the volcano to Cerro Punta. Trailheads and lakes, not summits: you stand at the gates of Barú and La Amistad, pay the small park fees, and go as far in as the weather allows. October is wet up here; go in the mornings.
