El Valle de Anton

El Valle de Anton

El Valle de Anton is a pretty town that sits inside the crater of an old volcano, surrounded by green mountains. It is one of the few towns in the world built in a volcano crater.

Families love its cool weather, colorful market, waterfalls, and the funny square-trunked trees that grow nearby. There are golden frogs, hot springs, and easy trails that make it a fun place for everyone.

A Town in a Crater

The whole town sits inside the bowl of a volcano that stopped erupting a very long time ago. Green mountain walls circle the valley like a giant hug.

The Golden Frog

El Valle is famous for the little golden frog, a special animal that Panama loves and protects. A nearby center takes care of them so they stay safe.

Market and Waterfalls

A colorful market sells fruit, flowers, and handmade crafts, and short trails lead to splashing waterfalls. You can even soak in warm mud at the natural hot springs.
