Boquete has two weekly morning markets. The Thursday Community Market runs from 9am to noon at the Amigos de Animales building in Alto Boquete, on the bus road, and the Tuesday Market runs from 9am to noon at TapOut, near the fairgrounds. Both sell local produce, bread, cheese and crafts.
Thursday: Boquete Community Market
The long-standing Thursday market is as much a social hub as a place to shop: produce, bread, cheese and crafts, and plenty of people to talk to. It runs 9am to noon at the Amigos de Animales building in Alto Boquete, on the David–Boquete bus road.
Tuesday: the market at TapOut
The Tuesday Market runs 9am to noon at TapOut, near the fairgrounds, within reach of central Bajo Boquete. Look for produce, baked goods, crafts and goat dairy from Milky Way Creamery.
