El Valle de Anton, Panama

El Valle De Anton

Just driving into the valley is an experience – the majestic mountains, swathed in blues and greens are simply breath-taking. El Valle de Anton is a magical place for a weekend away from Panama’s lowland heat or for those keen on the outdoors, ornithology and photography.

Perched at an altitude of some 2,500 ft, El Valle is the largest inhabited volcanic crater in the world.

It is a fertile volcanic valley filled with bright flowers, unique square trees and the endangered golden frogs. The vegetation is mostly cloud-forest and thus the flora and fauna in this region is prolific.
