Guides

My husband (Cele) and I (Chaeli) own the Santa Fe based Coffee Mountain Inn.  We provide tours to both guests and visitors to the area.  Let us show you what we love about the area!

Chaeli

Chaeli (me) has her graduate degree in ecology and has worked in ecological research, but started out her career as a park ranger (and a Peace Corps Volunteer in Panama!).  She sees a route and needs to figure out where it goes- paved or not.  She leads many of our treks as well as managing daily operations of Coffee Mountain Inn.

Celestino

Cele is a Panamanian native who grew up in rural Veraguas -exploring, hunting and fishing.  His professional career led him to work for Tommy Guardia, the Panamanian equivalent of the USGS.  He has led and developed our tours for the past six years in Santa Fe, is the current president and founder of the Camara de Turismo de Santa Fe, and is highly rated by customers.

Edgar Toribio is a great local guide and started Ecotours with me, but left to be involved with other projects.  He still guides as time permits and is particularly well known for his night tours.   He can be reached at +507 6121-4286
