EL VALLE HOLIDAYS

El Valle de Anton, known simply as El Valle, has a geologically distinguished setting and is located in the crater of an extinguished volcano. It boasts a near perfect year-round spring climate and is famous for its local markets which feature; handicrafts, fresh fruit and vegetables and beautiful native plants such as orchids and bougainvillea.
El Valle’s Gaital National Monument, a cloud forest nature preserve is excellent for hiking, nature tours and birding. You can also enjoy a scenic ride on horseback or alternatively visit the painted stone, an enormous stone petroglyph with strange images and symbols. Some say it is an ancient map of the region.

This lovely mountain town is just two hours from Panama City and is surrounded by dry forests and waterfalls, which makes it a perfect day trip or alternatively a nice two or three day break away from Panama City.
