Santa Fe National Park

Santa Fe is a small and quiet village in the highlands of Panama and the area is known for its beautiful waterfalls, there are more than twenty in the area! The village is surrounded by the rainforest of Santa Fé National Park. When compared to more well-known destinations such as Boquete and El Valle, Santa Fe is still relatively undiscovered and a real ‘off the beaten track’ destination.

Van der Meer Family (Feb. 2020)

In Santa Fe we stayed in a fairly simple but clean accommodation. We did a so-called River Walk here, which we really enjoyed!

It was nice and adventurous, climbing and walking in the river!
