      GUIDED TOUR AT SCHUMANN'S PARK. SCHUMANN'S PARK is a beautiful gem of nature and is one of the landmark places in Chiriqui, Panama. The park comprises 1.5 Ha of pristine gardens with abundant birdlife, native rainforest plants, including rare and threatened species. At the SCHUMANN'S PARK, guests can enjoy a safe, stimulating environment to experience close encounters with rainforest wildlife. The SCHUMANN'S PARK is home to a small Orchid House containing wild orchids. The floral array seems to rise up and greet you as you walk down each garden path.

      I wanted to visit, but was not possible
      I called daily for many days, I drove by twice, but nobody ever replied and location not open. When we called my wife kept reaching a voicemail that didn’t sound Spanish or English. I really wanted to take my little ones but alas wasn’t to be. Maybe you’ll have better luck

      Tour of garden
      We had a one hour tour of the animals/birds. The guide was pleasant but spoke very limited English. We feft this was overpriced at $12 each The response time to make an apointment was several days.

      Thoroughly enjoyed visiting!!!
      My friends and I visited the botantical garden after a tip from a local and it was a beautiful way to spend the morning! The gardens are impeccable and we were surprised to find the animals there as we were not aware of this previously. The stories of how many of the animals there have been rescued are lovely. The owner has a truly great spirit and a very kind heart!!

      Welcome like home !
      We received some tips which suggested us to have a stop by this place to visit the private botanic garden. It was great and very familial. We have been received by the owner who gave us a private tour of the house and her experience in Boquete. It was an amazing experience and I strongly recommend to stop by. A must of Boquete ! Thanks for your hospitality and passion.

      Truly beautiful garden and super nice hosts
      We had a wonderful time at Jardin Encantado. The guide Jorge who walked us through the garden is very friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us everything and talked a lot about the different animals and their individual stories. For me, the tropical birds were the best, absolutely amazing! The owners clearly put a lot of work into the garden; everything is very beautiful and well kept. After the tour, we were treated to a refreshment and had a nice conversation with the owners about the garden and their life in Boquete. Would absolutely recommend this!

      Overpriced and small but intresting to children
      The park offers amusement for little ones but it is way too expensive-we paid 34usd for 2 adults and 2 kids. We visitied other parks and farms in Panama and they usually cost half the price. If you are slow it will take you 45 minutes. Be warned!

      Very nice property
      Jardin Encantado is a private property owned by a nice German Lady we has the chance to talk to at the end of our tour. We went there around midday and with good sunny weather we walked around with the tour guide and guy in charged of looking after the animals. The property is currently under construction but that didn't stopped us from enjoying the tour. Another groundkeeper joined us and made the tour a bit more enjoyable. We were given peanuts and other seeds to feed the monkeys and guacamayas. The place has a lot of potential and it was the highlight of our day. We hope to visit it again next time we're back from Holland and Germany.

      Disrespectful. They don't care about the visitors!
      It was the most frustrating thing during my week in Boquete. After read about the place on trip advisor, I thought that it was something that we needed to do with my little daughter. I went on Monday, during open time, and the person said that unfortunately he wouldn't be able to give us the tour that day because he was working to fix some things on the property. Ok, we changed the plans and went to somewhere else. On Thursday, our last day in Boquete, we went there again and the owner asked the same guy not to give us the tour because he needed to teach the other employee in his first day at work. My 3y old daughter was super excited to see the flowers and animals and I was really frustrated to explain her that they were too busy to attend the guests for the second time! Don't loose your time going there, they don't need and don't care! After being refused for the second time in Jardin Encantado, we went to the El explorador and had a really good time there! My daughter loved the place!

      Disappointing
      We were looking forward to seeing the butterfly house and the 500 species of orchids described on their website, but after the guide showed us the few small monkeys begging for food, the parrots and a very skinny bored ocelot, he told us the tour was over. We asked where were the butterflies and orchids? He said the orchids won't be flowering until April and there were no butterflies; tour over! There were some nice small ponds in a garden setting. And the note on their website to stay at least one meter from the howler monkeys was easy to obey - there were no howler monkeys. A lot of false advertising and misleading description. A waste of time and at $12 per person, a waste of money.

      Must see
      We found this activity on Trip Advisor so we decided to check it out. We had a guided tour through the gardens; while viewing the animals. The gardens and variety of flowers was spectacular, along with the various water features. We also enjoyed viewing the different species of birds and monkeys. This was truly a hidden gem not to far from downtown Boquete.

      Champagne Sunday Brunch
      Quite a large gourmet spread for brunch at the Jardin today. Served on a lovely elevated terrace above the lush grounds makes a wonderful setting for a special meal.

      A GEM IN BOQUETE
      When reading reviews for this gorgeous destination, a reviewer said " A GEM"----and that is what I kept recalling during my 1 1/2 guided tour! As I leave my 1 month trip to Boquete, I am so happy it ends with meeting Claudia and her grounds guide and these beautiful gardens, flowers , paths, well cared for birds and monkeys,an Onslot, and ponds. Soooooo worth the trip. It is close to town, easy taxi ride. Call in advance to Claudia so your guide will be available. You will be touring " her backyard"!

      Lovely tropical garden with beautifully charming restaurant
      Lovely tropical garden with ponds, monkeys, parrots and an array of wildlife. There is an extremely charming restaurant which is only available by reservation. The owner is a genuine and gracious hostess who provides fresh European fusion meals and makes you feel like you are visiting an old friend. Go there if you have a couple of hours to fill and enjoy the tropical forest embiance and have a refreshing drink at the restaurant patio or book a meal there.

      Don't miss this gem!
      This garden is amazing. Very beautiful and peaceful. All the rescued animals appear to be well cared for. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient with our many questions. Tranquil setting just a short drive from downtown Boquete. Claudia was also very nice and shared info about the area. We enjoyed some champagne on the veranda after our tour. Beautiful views of the mountains and gardens. We highly recommend!

    Our guide Rubin was knowledgeable and amusing, in spite of not expecting us they were prompt to take us in and show us the garden. We saw a variety of local birds and animals that I haven’t even seen since I’ve been in the area! It was beautiful and fascinating. Thanks to Claudia for opening her home to these animals including us haha! Glenda Pearl Canada

    Went there looking for something interesting to do in Boquete, and we had plenty of fun.
    We took the park guided tour and went through the huge garden that has rescued animals, we had a chance to get close to the cage and snap a few pictures of the animals.
    The tour guide Jorge was very kind and seemed excited to show us around and answer all our questions.
    The place now goes by Schumman's resort and park.

    Very nice tour given by Jorge. The on-property gardener for 13 years. The plants are amazing as are all of the rescued animals. The ocelot was particularly interesting. Monkeys, cockatoo, macaws and numerous other birds. Tour was well over an hour.

    We booked a German tour and got a Spanish tour!?!?
    Jorge,our tour guide tried his best..but obviously there was not much learning for us. His knowledge seems to be top notch!! The animals..well,.it is what it is.
    Since you do offer the tour in 3 languages( Spanish,German,English) ,it would be great to get the chosen language.
    We saw all these plants in the wilderness already but were hoping for more information.
    Therefore,wasted money!

    Sorry to hear that but the problem was that you booked the tour on the same day which was for us not enough time to reach the German speaking guide. I asked you if you want to wait but you decided to take the tour with Jorge. It is a problem for us that if we have only a short window to reach a guide then this is what happens. If there would be a way to edit a minimum time frame before a booking is confirmed we would not talk about this situation. However when booking while being already at the gate or shortly before, it is out of our control.

    We booked same day and the owner did our tour. She was lovely and informative about plants and animals. We pet (through the enclosure) an ocelot, danced with a makaw, chatted with parrots, and fed a couple monkeys. All animals kept humanely for rehab or because they cannot return to the wild. Wonderful experience!!!

    Our guide was excellent can’t thank him enough took time to explain everything and allowed us to proceed at our pace. Enough flora and fauna to se for around an hour and a half, well over worth it . Don’t worry if gate locked when you arrive your guide will arrive on time. A must se in Boquete don’t hesitate to prt the ocelot he is sooooo soft.

    I've heard many stories about this place and we couldn't get in because there was nobody there. One of the stories I heard was that all of the animals were captured and put in the cages and the most recent story is that the owner has been kicked out of the house and that the business is no longer in business so don't count on seeing anything.

    I only saw now the deceitful and untrue statement from "burtondogs1". This person was never at our place and never will be granted access to it. Her comments in short : "I heard many stories" . FALSE: so you are one of those persons that listens to gossip and likes to gossip herself and gives feedback on gossip instead on our tours? "we couldn't get in" FALSE. We are only open by reservation and you need to book through Tripadvisor/Viator, AirBnB and others. You cannot just show up thinking we have a guide sitting all day long to wait for you! "One of the stories I heard" FALSE: All our animals are rescued animals by the ministry now called Ambiente and they are here for many years and in best care. All birds can fly and all animals have large enclosures, some even with trees. "the owner was kicked out of the house" FALSE: This is defamation in the worst way. You are actually trying to spread publicly fake rumor and you are not afraid to do so. We will give this matter to our legal department and they will request for release of your "real" or full name in order to start defamation proceedings. It cannot be that a person willingly spreads false rumors publicly and takes it as a reason for a feedback, for nothing but her hateful opinion. Shame on you to add such fake information into the Tripadvisor Feedback Panel.
