Anton Valley

This morning prepare to visit  A picturesque mountain town just two hours from Panama City, El Valle is located within the crater of the second largest inhabited dormant volcano in the world.

Today we visit the famous  Sleeping Indian Girl. From certain viewpoints, the outline of the mountain resembles a girl lying on her back gazing at the skies. According to legend, an Indian princess wandered the mountains and died in disgrace after her lover committed suicide. The realism of the outline is enhanced by the fact that the ‘face’ and ‘neck’ have been cleared for grazing while her ‘hair’ remains forested and it is in this area we hike to discover a group of waterfalls and nature.
