It's been fun to explore nearby hiking trails and paths in our local neighborhood of Volcancito. Our family recently hiked one of our favorite trails, which happens to be a short distance up the street from us. While the trail isn't necessarily spectacular in any way, we love it because it has a great variety of views, plants, birdlife, and all-around scenery.

A great view, which includes the Pacific Ocean and the islands in the Gulf of Chiriqui.

| One of our favorite parts of this hike is this giant tree trunk that juts out from the trail, with a 50+ foot drop below. Walking across the tree trunk can be a bit scary and takes some skill, but certainly is fun. Monica has it mastered! |

| During this time of year many of the coffee bushes are in full bloom. They are very pretty and smell like jasmine. |
 |
| We passed this Ngäbe-Buglé couple along the way. During the weekends, couples and families are often seen walking hand-in-hand on various paths and hiking trails, taking a leisurely stroll. |

As you climb higher into the mountains, a beautiful view of Volcán Barú can be seen in the background.

| The hiking trail meanders along several coffee fields, and this friendly man was happy to show me his giant basket of coffee cherries, all hand-picked. |
