The Experience

The first thing I noticed was the sound — not traffic, but birds and this soft hum from the e-bikes as we rolled out from Soul Planet Cycles. Our guide, Luis, waved us on with a grin and off we went through Boquete town. The air smelled like wet earth and coffee beans (maybe that was just in my head), and honestly, I was glad for the electric assist when we started climbing toward the Pianista loop. My legs thanked me later.

We passed these patches of wildflowers and then suddenly there were coffee plants everywhere — green hills rolling up into mist. Luis pointed out some little fincas tucked into the slopes. He told us about how the weather here makes Boquete coffee so prized. I tried to say “geisha” like he did (Li laughed at my accent). Then came Los Ladrillos — this crazy wall of basalt where some locals were actually rock climbing. I’d never seen anything like it; their chalky hands left white smudges on the stone.

The waterfall near San Ramon was louder than I expected — you could feel the spray if you stood close enough. We took photos but mostly just stood there listening to water crash down next to the Caldera River. On the way back, Luis led us to a tiny café for our included coffee break. The woman behind the counter handed me a cup so fragrant I almost forgot to drink it at first. Still think about that taste sometimes.

Honestly, by the time we circled back past Pepe’s so-called haunted castle (Luis swears it’s true), my legs felt pleasantly tired but not wiped out thanks to those e-bikes. It wasn’t a rushed tour — we stopped when something caught our eye or someone wanted another photo. That felt good.
