Santa Fe National Park, Protected rainforest in Veraguas Province, Panama
Santa Fe National Park spans 700 square kilometers across central Panama, containing numerous waterfalls and extensive networks of hiking trails through primary rainforest.
The protected area surrounds Santa Fe town, established in 1557 by Captain Francisco Vasquez to support gold mining operations on the Panamanian coast.
Local families maintain traditional coffee farms within the Santa Fe Coffee Cooperative, contributing to the agricultural heritage of the region.
Visitors must prepare thoroughly for excursions as the park lacks developed facilities, with the ranger station located 10 kilometers from Santa Fe town.
The national park protects over 1,000 species, including 300 bird varieties and multiple endemic plants across both Caribbean and Pacific slopes.
