Let's be honest, the only thing this place lacks are bed frames & television. For some, that's cool. Be Here NOW. Turn off the news and escape to the countryside!

From David: Take the Potrerillos bus next to the Boquete bus. DO NOT take the Boquete bus. TAKE THE POTRERILLOS BUS. (about 40 minutes) $1.10 . 30 minutes past the hour, this bus goes directly toward Tranquilo House.

When you get on the bus, ask 'Arriba o Abajo?'

If they say Arriba, you say 'Voy para la Bomba'.

If you get the Potrerillos bus that leave on the hour from David:

This is the Potrerillos Arriba bus
