[News Boquete] Geology Field Trips

Three more geology field trips, weather permitting, are planned in the month of June.  These will be the last trips of the season.

Sunday, May 31: Volcan-Cerro Punta.  This trip will study the unique features of Volcan Baru and its sister volcano, Tinsigal.  This is a full day trip and 4 wheel drive vehicles are a must.  

Saturday, June 6:  Jaramillo-Lucero:  This trip will look at the Jaramillo plate boundary fault and plug intrusions.  This will be a seven hour trip, 8 - 3.  4 wheel drive vehicles are preferred but not absolutely necessary. 

Friday, June 12:  Local field trip:  This is an introduction to the landscape around Boquete to help the participants understand the local geology and its effects upon the area.  This is a half day trip.  No special vehicles are required for this trip.  

All trips depart from the Visitor Center in Alto Boquete and assemble at 8 am.  If interested for any of the trips, please submit the following information:  

1.  Your name and the names of any other people in your party.

2.  If you have a vehicle and are willing to take passengers.  If so, how many passengers can you accommodate.

3.  If you will need transportation

Please submit this information to:  FieldtripBoquete@gmail.com.  All  field trips are free of charge although the drivers of vehicles may appreciate help with the gas, especially on the longer trips. The field trips are under the supervision of Dr. Paul Myers, emeritus professor of geology at the University of Wisconsin and geologists Martita Stearn and Michael Portigal.  

 All trips are weather dependent and will be cancelled if heavy rain is forecast in the field trip area.
