    Santa Fe is a low key ordinary village.

    Santa Fe is a low key ordinary village. We liked it for its lack of frills. There's a Danish run pizza place and a couple of coffee shops (we didn't go to either just saw them). The rest is normal Panamanian stuff, 2 mini Supermarkets and a few cafes with typical Panamanian food. There are rivers and waterfalls to bathe in but all except one would need a car (or bike) to get to. I'd say it was a one horse town except we saw 3 wandering about! The scenery is fantastic, so many different trees and so many hills. The road to the coast is finished and is lovely and smooth. There's a restaurant at the end of the road for lunch. The road from Santiago gets better as you get along it but takes 1.5 to 2 hours for the 35 miles to Santa Fe

    Santa Fé is a beautiful mountain town in western Panama.

    Santa Fé is a beautiful mountain town in western Panama. It's located in a valley bordered by mountains which form part of an impressive natural reserve north of the town. The town itself appears to be easy-going and quiet —save for the odd bar— but the focus of the place is elsewhere: the very diverse ecosystems that exist all around it, from river habitats to cloud forests. You can either scale bare mountains and take in breathtaking views or go deep into the jungle and see unique wildlife, and the trails go as far as you may like. The area is also known for its organic farming and the town has played an important part in the history of Panama.

    When you go to Santa Fe, prepare for the hikes, the horse...

    When you go to Santa Fe, prepare for the hikes, the horse riding and make sure that in Santiago you fill up the gas tank to the max (Llenó porfa). The restaurants are simple, but there is a Thai gem. Try to get lucky by staying in that hotel and enjoy the cooking that after 7,5 years in Panamá I have not found. Simple and honest Thai food is of course a joy for every 48 years old backpacker (now by 2x4 car by the way).

    Santa Fe is my favorite town in Panama.

    Santa Fe is my favorite town in Panama. It offers many hikes and waterfalls for free. If you want more intense hikes, then you can schedule them with any hostel in town. There are many markets around town. There is a beautiful artisan store at the entrance of town that offers unique crafts at reasonable prices. It is very easy to get to Santa Fe from Santiago. There is a bus every 30 minutes going each way.

    I enjoyed my 2 night stay at the hotel. The staff was very helpful and Ricardo gave us advice on things to do there. He also spoke perfect English which was helpful. The cabin was clean and really very welcoming . Some of the rooms don't have hot water in the shower so if that's important to you, make sure you ask when you book . I would definitely recommend this hotel. Santa Fe is a quaint town, very scenic, but no gas stations there and not a lot of restaurants to choose from. The National Forest was breathtaking to see and hike in

    Great place. Loved the little house we stayed in. It was perfectly clean and Ricardo was really nice. The communal kitchen was awesome, next to the coffee maker and fridge etc that you have available in your own place. The bed was very comfortable. They are putting in effort to do some renovations to make the place even nicer. For us it was perfect, travelling with our toddler. We wanted to stay an extra night but unfortunately it was fully booked. Would come back any time if in Santa Fe.

    Breakfast was very tasty. Fresh fruit, eggs, toast, cereal, yogurt, sausage and pancakes. The rooms were large and comfy. The view is spectacular. Dinner (you had to pay) was unbelievable. The owner is the cook and she is Cambodian and she cooks the BEST meals! Jade (Assistant manager) was a real asset. She was very helpful with what was happening in the community and places to go and see. Very personable and we loved her!

    The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and tidy. The bathroom was equally clean and comfortable, a valuable thing after spending the day hiking. The hotel's staff was very courteous and helpful, taking care of our muddy clothes. Breakfast really good. All in all, a great place to stay in Santa Fe while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The hotel has a beautiful view and has a very lovely breakfast area.

    Anachoreo Hotel is small, quaint and peaceful. All the rooms have a beautiful view of the mountains. The breakfast is excellent and inclusive in the room price. We had dinner every night there and it was fabulous. The personnel is so attentive of the guest needs. The morning front desk lady, Ines, was extremely helpful in organizing the activities we wanted to do. Would definitively recommend it.

    Thankyou Ricardo for having us to stay here. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Santa Fe, even if it was only for three nights! The team are very welcoming and accommodating, giving a load of useful information for us on check-in. The shared kitchen is really well equipped, and the rooms are spacious, clean and well kept. ¡Gracias!

    Set in beautifully well kept gardens. These lovely cabanas are a great option for staying in Santa Fe. With good sized rooms. Great pool and sun area. Good communal kitchen space. Ricardo and his staff made us feel very welcome and helped make our stay a real experience, organising tours, giving recommendations for eateries etc.

    A nice, little, quiet hotel with big rooms and a beautiful garden with an amazing view. The staff are very friendly. The owner had to go to Santiago the same day as I left and took me the whole way with her car. Everything is clean and the food is really good. I highly recommend this place.

    Anachoreo is s fabulous base to discover the beautiful area of Santa Fe. And the beautiful from the lodge is reason alone for a stay. Adding to that the delicious food (and cocktails), the very attentive service and deeply kind staff and the comfortable rooms makes for an amazing stay.

    It has a very comfortable energy, as the owners are very helpful and friendly and they take pride in the hotel. Each room has a private area in front. There aren’t many restaurants in the area, so it’s nice to have a kitchen available and refrigerators in the rooms.

    The breakfast was tasty-two mornings and different items each morning, the view is beautiful. It is very quiet and far from action. Santa Fe is a very small quiet town. For us, 2 nights was enough time.

    Coffee Mountain Inn was a very cozy Inn with clean rooms, very friendly owners, and beautiful mountain views. Next time I venture to Santa Fe I'm definitely going back. The coffee farm tour is a must.
