Hollywood Fond Of Panamas Natural Splendor - New Eco-Travel Hot Spot Fetches Green Globe, Top Ratings on Facebook, TripAdvisor

(Cleveland, Ohio & Boquete, Panama) – Panama is the latest buzz word among nature lovers and city dwellers in search of that ideal tropical vacation to get away from hectic, stress, cold weather and to reconnect with unspoiled greener pastures for less.

And Hollywood takes note as actress and healthy life style author Mariel Hemingway shares her fondness for Panamas lovely green hills on Twitter.

Green travel is on the rise in Costa Rica's tiny neighbor Panama - also thanks to hotels with nature friendly policies, like the new Rancho de Caldera eco-resort - among the first in Central America to receive the coveted Green Globe Hospitality certification. (http://www.ranchodecaldera.com)

Clean energy generated from hydro- solar- and wind powers the new hospitality project off the grid year round.

Equine aficionados among Rancho's guests explore the region on horseback, swimmers love the pool with a view and everyone loves the cozy terraced guest bungalows that even offer free WiFi connections.

Rancho owner Gina Cronin, from Cleveland, Ohio, finds that not only families with teenagers love the plethora of activities on site and in the Boquete area - which enjoys a spring like climate year round. (Not surprisingly, besides attracting honeymooners and green travelers, the area is a new hot spot for expats from the US, Canada and Europe)

And nature loving gourmets appreciate the Ranchos Madre Tierra restaurant. Thanks to the culinary skills of Chef Craig Miller, both, locals and visitors can now enjoy delicious meals in Panama - hitherto more noted for natural splendor than for culinary excellence.

Comments one lady from Florida: “Far fetched as it may sound - for the best French fries in the world – I have to go to Madre Tierra in the Boquete hills”.

And she is not alone, a young man reports that he cycled 4000 miles to get here. To read his story click:

(To date, it remains unclear if a craving for Chef Craig’s French fries prompted him to cycle here all the way from Georgia…).

But, delicious food seems only one of the reasons why Twitter, Facebook and TripAdvisor are buzzing with rave reviews of green Rancho de Caldera vacations…
