Darién Province
Should you want to pause for a spell while traveling to the Darién, you could do a lot worse than this homey 30-room hotel outside Chepo in the middle of a working farm, with cows and pigs, and horses to ride. There’s a curious viewing tower, a fishing pond, a three-part pool and a decent restaurant (mains US$10 to US$15).
Choose one of the rooms overlooking the pool from the 2nd floor (ie rooms 5 to 8).
