Apparently, Mangosteen and Rambutan ripen mid July. Now, everywhere are people on the side of the road selling bunches of "Mamon Chino" (as Rambutans are called here), and mangosteen, too in some places.

I bought a bunch of Rambutan for 1$. The Mangosteen where also 1$. As much as I remember, Mangosteen - if available at all - where several dollar a piece at the farmer's market. Rambutan also a few dollars per pound...
This is one of my favorite parts of Panama: There's always something in season. And it is growing right in our backyard and doesn't have to be shipped around the globe!
