Yes, the name means "snake", but you're unlikely to encounter anything scary on this trail. Ok, well maybe you’ll encounter a snake, it is the jungle after all, but that is not what this trail is named after. This Boquete hiking trail is named more for the winding shape than the animals you will encounter. This winding is a plant lovers dream, with all the moss, orchids, and shady jungle you can handle.
Sendero Culebra offers stunning beauty in the cloud forest, but at a price. This trail is a bit more challenging, but well worth it. The actual trail winds for 18 km and can take up to 7 days, but we offer a one day hike that gives you a perfect taste of all the glory the Boquete cloud forest has to offer. Even better, the section we hike is a great easy to moderate challenge. So as long as you are in decent physical condition, then the Sendero Culebra is perfect for anyone wanting a true Panama cloud forest experience.

The name pretty much sums up the focal points of this Boquete hiking trail. One great loop that offers 3 different waterfalls! You'll have a chance to get up close and personal with one waterfall, stand in awe of another waterfall, and really work for the chance to be in the presence of the last. A great workout, and easy to navigate too.
The first waterfall is perfect for all your Instagram posts, the second you can actually jump in (seasonal), and the third is your workout for the day. All in all, the looping trail only takes about 3 hours to explore. So the Lost Waterfalls Trail is the perfect Boquete hiking tour for those short on time. However, we also recommend you be in moderate to good physical condition to tackle this trail.

Length: Approximately 3 hours depending the pace of the group and the amount of wildlife we encounter.
The Lost Waterfalls Hike Recommendations:
Children: All ages welcome, however children need to be able to hike 3 continuous hours over rocks and sometimes slippery terrain. If you think that will be a challenge, we recommend the Pipeline Trail as a better option.
Restrictions: This a level 3 hike in Boquete. Meaning the terrain mildly to moderately challenging. You must be able walk comfortably for a minimum of 3 hours and navigate uneven terrain at an incline. The trails get wet and slippery from the waterfall splash, so good traction footwear is highly recommended here.

El Pianist hike in Boquete is a favorite as it brings you into dense rainforest and cloud forest teaming with wildlife. You can listen to the frogs chirping along the path following the creeks. There is wildlife overhead and crackling in the forest where you know monkeys, sloths, and raccoons are going about their daily business. And the most beautiful birds chirping overhead all confident with the protection of the dense forest. It is just under 8 km up and back on the same trail. So the good thing is the hike up is a challenge, but the hike back down is rewarding.
El Pianista hike in Panama gained a nefarious reputation when 2 hikers went missing a few years ago. That may have helped peak interest in this hike, but rest assured it is a safe hike, and an incredible hike with the help of an expert guide. The trails are not well marked, and when the rains hit the trail can be treachorous. But in the end, the dense rainforest & cloud forest of Panama, the abundant wildlife, and the canyon views are all well worth it.
El Pianista Trail Hike Includes:
Departures: El Pianista trail departs daily between 7:00 am to 9:00 am. Your guide will determine the best departure time based on the conditions. Afternoon departures are only available between December and April in dry conditions. This hike can get dangerous in really wet conditions.
Length: Approximately 4.5 hours depending the pace of the group and the amount of wildlife we encounter
El Pianista Trail Hike Recommendations:
Children: This is a long day for children. Recommended minimum age is 12 years old. Children pay the same as adults.
Restrictions: This a level 3 hike in Boquete. Meaning the terrain mildly to moderately challenging. You must be able walk comfortably for a minimum of 4 hours and navigate uneven terrain at a steep incline. This trail goes up then back on the same trail. So the first half is strenuous, but you are rewarded on the way back with a downhill descent.

If you're looking to really go off-grid for a time, this hike is perfect for you. At 14 miles long it is certainly meant for those serious hikers, and you can expect to be handsomely rewarded for your efforts. Do you like stairs? Good. Because there are many. Depending on which side you start from, this can be an uphill thigh-master or a downhill knee tester.
