David

The province's bustling, sweltering capital won't be the Chiriquí you came to see. All services are here, however—at 80,000 inhabitants, lowland David clocks in as Panama's third largest city. With the vagaries of transportation in this region, you may find yourself spending the night here, so we list a few lodgings and services. Whether staying or just passing through, pronounce the city's name the Spanish way (Dah-VEED), so that people understand what you're talking about.
