Itinerary

El Valle de Anton

2 hours

We begin the adventure by leaving the city and taking the emblematic Inter-American Highway, one of the most important roads in Latin America.

During the journey, which lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Panamanian countryside, picturesque villages, and mountains in the distance. It’s an excellent opportunity to relax, take pictures from the window, or just enjoy the conversation as we head towards the heart of an ancient volcanic crater.

As we approach the Antón Valley, you will feel the climate change: the air becomes cooler and cleaner, surrounded by lush vegetation. Before arriving, we will make a short stop (if the group wishes) to stretch your legs, have a local coffee or simply appreciate the rural landscape of Panama.
