At 5:30am this past Saturday 4/21 there was an unusual gathering in the central Plaza in Boquete. The hundreds of volunteers who had sign up for climbing the Barú volcano were ready to start the long walk to the summit. In intervals of 10 minutes, small groups started the 7 hour long walk to create awareness of this important natural resource.
In the company of policemen, firemen, paramedics and many others the group of volunteers took all their tools to change the signs along the way, trash bags to pick up tons of garbage left by irresponsible campers and hikers in the past.
That afternoon, under the rain, the victorious hikers made it to the camping area. Tired but happy the set up the tents and started right away changing the dilapidated signs and to clean the area.
The next morning they went to the very top of the country to celebrate nature and this magnificent mountain that welcomes all the visitors we receive every day from each corner of the world.
We congratulate the Boquete Tourism Chamber for the organization of this activity and hope there are many more to come!
