General overview
Our home is a ten minute drive from Santa Fe. Very private with a beautiful garden and lots of citrus trees. John and I lived in this home while we built our current home about a mile away. We only use this house to home exchange so it's almost always available. Try us!
Santa Fe is still off the beaten track, but is increasingly coming on the radar as the road to the Caribbean side is now finished. There is no lack of things to do if you like the outdoors. Kayaking and horseback trips can be arranged. Santa Fe is known for our orchids and butterflies. Our area is simply beautiful at all times of year.
We also offer our cabin in the community of El Salto which is accessible via a two hour walk or a four wheel drive taxi. The waterfalls are some of the best in the area.
The space
The home is small, but well designed and comfortable for four people. The terrace has hammocks and beautiful views of the mountains.
Guest access
The house is all on one floor. There are a couple of steps to access the house from the sidewalk.
Notes
The internet signal comes and goes although we can usually get email, text and make phone calls. Sometimes we can stream video, but don't count on it:) We do have Sky TV which has quite a few English language channels.

Neighbourhood
Our neighbors are wonderful Panamanians. Very few people speak English so a little Spanish is helpful. Santa Fe is mountainous. There are countless rivers and waterfalls to explore. We are a birders paradise and can arrange professional guides if you like. Or you can just head out with a pair of binoculars...
Nearest airport
Most of our guests fly into Tocumen International Airport (PTY) to spend a few days in Panama City before traveling on to Santa Fe
Getting around
We are open to exchanging our Isuza D Max pick up truck. The local bus transport passes by the gate approximately every 1-2 hours between 6 am and 6pm. Taxis are available from Santa Fe for $7. The hiking is extraordinary if you are walkers.

Janet
John and I have been home exchanging for over 15years and love this way of traveling. We've lost count but I think we've done over 100 exchanges all over the world. We're adventurous people who look for places off the beaten path. But we enjoy cities and are open to just about anywhere. Sometimes we travel with another couple or our adult children.
