Discover North Veraguas by Car, Self-guided.($15) In partnership with VoiceMap, in 2026, I developed an audio driving tour for Route 33, which connects our regional capital of Santiago to the Caribbean to the north and passes through Santa Fe.

Drive from Santiago through San Francisco, up to Santa Fe, then over the continental divide, through Santa Fe National Park and Hector Gallego National Park to the Caribbean Coast.  .

Your phone will play the story of each place as you reach it, using GPS: rivers, villages, waterfalls, trails in the National Park, indigenous communities, a lost spanish cology.  Written and narrated by me, Chaeli, an ecologist and owner of Coffee Mountain Inn

What do you need?  a car, a smart phone with the VoiceMap app

How to purchase?   You can purchase online from  Voicemap.

Can I listen to it ahead of my visit there as well? Yes, you can download and choose to playback virtually.

Why did I do this?

So our guests and visitors will have a richer experience when they come to explore Santa Fe.

Our tourist destination is off the beaten path, and we have had many guests who miss details (like a waterfall), or cultural aspects that are not signed. Sometimes it is nice to have a local help you out. This compliments your drive from Santiago to Santa Fe and carries on narration along the 33 to the Caribbean.

How can you get the most out of this?

I would recommend listening from Santiago to Santa Fe (about half), on your drive up to Santa Fe. Stop here, then if you continue to the Caribbean, finish listening.
