Visitas de Tierra (Land Visits) - Real Audiencia (Royal Audience) of Santa Fe

These visits were a type of census conducted by the Real Audiencia of Santa Fe (Colombia). The visits were generally a response to reports of excess and abuse of Indians and were used to control colonial administration. Their main objective, however, was to set the basis for taxation.

These special general censuses of colonial times (1611-1808), include the provinces of

• Cocle
• Chiriqui
• Panama
• Veraguas
