To get from Boquete to Panama City currently takes around 9-hours. My backside was protesting against yet another long distance bus journey so I decided to break the ride up by visiting Santa F\u00e9 – approximatley half way between Boquete and Panama City.<\/p>\n

The journey, using public transport, consisted of the following legs: Boquete to David (1hr) David to Santiago (3hrs) Santiago to Santa F\u00e9 (1.5hrs).<\/p>\n

Located in the Veraguas mountain range, about 5 hours from Panama City, Santa F\u00e9 offers a unique experience of a laid back traditional Panamanian village where horses are still commonly used as a means of transportation. Santa F\u00e9 offers a convenient base to explore the vast wilderness of the national park and the native reservations, stretching for over 40 miles in three directions.<\/p>\n

Santa F\u00e9 is a perfect location for those who love nature, adventure and authentic culture. It’s offerings include swimming, rafting, horseback riding, hiking (through virgin rain forest), bird watching, 4\u00d74 adventure tours, visits to organic farms and orchid gardens – to name but a few. Best of all large tour groups are still conspicuous by their absence.<\/p>\n

Santa F\u00e9 lies at an altitude of around 450 meters or 1350 feet, and due to its proximity to much higher mountains it enjoys a year round temperate tropical climate with warm days and cool nights. These mountains also temper the typical wet\/dry tropical seasons, resulting in a beautiful green landscape.<\/p>\n

The true charm about this town is that it isn\u2019t overrun with development. It truly is a place to get away from it all and return to unspoiled nature.<\/p>\n

I stayed at a delightful hotel with beautiful views across the valley.<\/p>\n

Next stage: Panama City.<\/p>\n
