This has been the more greater flood greater than it has struck to the Province of Chiriquí, specifically the District of Boquete, Cerro Punta, Bambito, Volcan and the province of Bocas del Toro.

Boquete, a place of beautiful landscapes by the verdure of their forests, their colorful gardens, fresh climate and amiable and enterprising people, was surprised by the nature - that same nature that as much beauty has granted to him - with four days of abundant rains that made overflow the Caldera River, causing a flood, worse in the last the 30 years.

The bridges suffered severe damages, some houses, hotels among them the most affected were the Hotel Laderas, and other two with smaller affectations. In the sector of agriculture one calculates that they can have Volcan losses and Cerro Punta area until a 15%, in the property next to the channel of Old the Chiriquí rivers, in Cerro Punta, Bambito and Volcán, and the Caldera River, in Boquete.

Saddest, it is the losses of human lives,  we asked to the Almighty that forces to their relatives in this hard test give them. Thanks to God, our town extremely generous and although is distressed by the happened thing, has pronounced itself massively to all the Centers of Storings, all over the country.

It is impressive to see until housewife and the worker, taking his stock market of food so that it is transported in our brothers that today live this tragedy. Speaking of impressive acts, also we must declare of another aspect that hits. It is to see the local authorities, the Government in its totality, next to his enterprising inhabitants, from already, working arduously in the reconstruction of streets and highways, bridges, canalizing the rivers with heavy machineries, cleaning the landslide areas.

Some foreigners who live in the place are surprised of how the villagers do not remain submerged in the impotence feelings, but go forwards putting hands to the work, and quickly it is possible to be seen as the things are returning to show that pretty face. The one of a tourist site without equal. By this, boqueteños and native of High Earth, including the foreign residents, they bet that these places more soon of before imagined, could be admired and be visited as always.
