About El Valle de Antón

El Valle de Antón is one of Panama's most charming and unique destinations — a small mountain town built inside the crater of an ancient extinct volcano in Coclé Province. At around 600 meters above sea level, its cool climate and lush greenery make it a welcome escape from the coastal heat.

The town is famous for its Sunday handicraft market, where local artisans sell pottery, baskets, hand-painted ceramics, and Panama hats. Nature lovers will enjoy the stunning El Macho waterfall, natural hot springs (Pozos Termales), and the El Níspero zoo and botanical garden — home to Panama's iconic and endangered golden frog.

Hiking trails wind through the crater rim and surrounding cloud forest, offering breathtaking views and excellent birdwatching. El Valle is easily one of the most rewarding day trips or overnight stops on any Panama itinerary.
