District on Chiriquí's Costa Rica border and one of Panama's major coffee-producing districts, growing traditional coffee and Geisha.
Renacimiento District, created on 3 September 1970, borders Costa Rica to the west, Barú District to the south and Bugaba District to the east. It has eight corregimientos: Río Sereno (the capital, at about 1,000 m), Breñón, Cañas Gordas, Monte Lirio, Plaza de Caisán, Santa Cruz, Dominical and Santa Clara. Farmers grow coffee, tomatoes, beans, maize and bananas, and Spanish Wikipedia gives the district's elevation range as 600 to 2,500 m.
