From the Mountains to the Sea: Best of Santa Fe
Guided all-day trip by car, hitting the highlights of Santa Fe. We travel through the two National Parks, along the indigenous Comarca to the remote wind-swept coast of Calovebora. Depending on mobility of participants, stops include a guided hike with a naturalist through primary rainforest to waterfall in Santa Fe National Park, a short boat ride along the coast (weather dependent), and a picnic ‘catch of the day’ lunch on the beach. Limit 5 participants.
Cost: $165/pp
Add on: $550 for group Day trip to Escudo de Veraguas (weather dependent). If this add on is chosen, a trip to the Escudo (approx 1.5-2hrs one way) will take the place of the 1hr boat ride. Please understand that we can not go to the Escudo in bad weather. The $550 will be refunded.
