The Idea

Putting the in-between Panama on the map

Search for Panama online and you'll find the Canal, the capital's skyline, and the beaches of Bocas and San Blas. What you won't easily find — especially in English — is the interior: the hill farms, festival towns, and cattle country of the Azuero Peninsula, where much of what Panamanians consider most Panamanian actually comes from.

This site began with a personal connection to Loma Ranchito, a small farming community in the highlands of Herrera Province, and grew outward from there. The goal is simple: an honest, useful, independently written guide to the community and its region — the province, the peninsula, the festivals, the food, and the wild places in between.

What this site is (and isn't)

  • Independent. lomaranchito.com is privately created and maintained. It is not affiliated with any government body, tourism authority, or business in Panama.
  • Written, not scraped. The content here is researched and written for this site. Where movable festival dates or schedules are involved, we say so — always confirm dates locally before traveling.
  • Respectful of its subject. Loma Ranchito is a real, living community, not an attraction. This site aims to describe it truthfully and to encourage visitors who arrive with the same respect.
  • Ad-supported. The site may display advertising (via Google AdSense) to cover its costs. Ads are clearly distinguishable from content, and advertisers have no influence over what we write. See the Privacy Policy for details on cookies and data.
