Once again as usual, we set off during the weekend to explore Panama with our fellow students. This time our destination is Santa Fé, in the province of Veraguas (east of Chiriqui). Having already been there a couple of times we got a really nice itinerary nailed down

This activity will take place from Friday October 9th - Sunday October 11th. We will be staying at Hostal La Qhia. Eight of our Spanish students have already signed up so it promises to be lots of fun!

We will horseback, appreciate how "jugo de caña" is extracted from sugar cane (and we'll also do it ourselves!), have a splash in a gorgeous waterfall, horseback a bit more, hike a little bit, practice our Spanish, drink some good wine, wander around town to checkout the church and get a feel of the local lifestyle, and visit an orchid expert (with nearly 300 orchids in her house!).

Price includes everything: roundtrip transportation from Boquete to Santa Fé (4 hours), two nights accommodation with three persons per room (upgrade for more privacy is available), all meals and snacks, a horseback riding tour through the mountains where we will stop on a farm to learn how sugar cane is extracted, followed by a guided hike to an amazing waterfall for a nice splash. Lastly but not least, we will hold a 2-hour Spanish Conversational Session where we will be able to share all of our exciting adventures.

At Santa Fé, a beautiful Swiss chalet will be waiting for us. We will be surrounded by ever-blooming gardens of fruits and flowers. Shrouded from the simple village streets by its lush gardens, the site offers splendid vistas of the mountains, rainbows, dramatic cloud formations, and a stunning night sky.

The cost is $155 per person (for Habla Ya students) and $195 per person (for everyone else).
