Description

Welcome to Finca Lerida, a special place that calls on your spirit and soul to connect with nature.

Panama is one of the favorite destinations for birding, but birding in Panama is not complete unless you visit the Boquete highlands. As suggested in Robert S. Ridgley's A Guide to The Birds of Panama, Finca Lerida is a place to go "searching for quetzals and other specialties". Located in our exclusive private nature reserve at an altitude ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level, Finca Lerida is a unique and preferred destination for people interested in exploring its rich flora and fauna, for bird watchers, nature photographers and eco-tourism in general.

Finca Lerida Old House, the Finca's original vintage family home of Scandinavian design consists of 3 suites and 2 bedrooms, each with private bath, decorated conserving the warm Scandinavian style. The inviting living room with its charming old fireplace and the garden bohio have views of the forest and stream on the property.
Finca Lerida Ecolodge has 11 very comfortable double rooms with private bath, each with its own porch overlooking the pristine forest and our small coffee plantation. Our award winning coffee is produced in keeping with our commitment to preserve the environment and is an important element in sustaining the surrounding forests.
After a day of birding, hiking, walking or just relaxing, enjoy our old style excellent and traditional home cooked meals, served at the Coffee House. Welcome again and enjoy our outstanding service and hospitality.
