Panama's El Valle
El Valle
When looking to escape the hustle of Panama City there is simply no more relaxing destination than El Valle de Anton. Commonly known as El Valle, this scenic retreat finds its home nestled in the crater of the world’s second largest extinct volcano. Due to its unmatched scenery and superb accessibility, El Valle has remained a popular place of respite among locals and visitors alike. Ringed in steep verdant peaks and a brilliant carpet of flowers, and boasting a spring like climate year round, El Valle is the perfect destination in which to slip away from it for a weekend.
Visit the main street on Sunday, when the market brings the downtown to life with vendors selling handicrafts, vegetables and ornamental flowers. During the remainder of the week, enjoy a languid pace where bird watching, bike riding, rainforest hiking and horse back riding are but a handful of the natural pleasures available.
