The 10 Best Outdoor Activities in El Valle de Anton, Cocle Province

June 10, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Families with kids of all ages will love this mountain village, located just two hours from Panama City. Whether you’re up for active sports such as hiking, biking, horseback riding and ziplining through the rainforest—or sightseeing adventures such as the El Nispero Zoo and Serpentario (a snake habitat), you’ll find it here. El Valle de Antón is home to the world’s second-largest extinct volcano—but you’ll still find more modern pleasures here, such as its well-known Sunday Market and elegant spas such as Casa de Lourdes.

El Valle Mountain Tours

We offer high-adventure tours and hikes. By far our most popular tour is the Slot Canyon Waterfall which takes about 3 hours. This is an amazing tour up into the mountains and deep into the jungle {rainforest} through several streams until we reach the waterfall entrance. Once we arrive it's a 5 minute walk down the 200 stairs to reach the waterfall. People with mobility issues are welcome as long as they are able to handle the 200 stairs. We offer walking sticks to help and also provide bottled water. This tour will be the highlight of your trip to Panama!

Square Trees Nature Trail Arboles Cuadrados

Lovely 1.6km loop trail, traversing through a lush Panamanian rain forest. This trail is family friendly (including your pets) and is a wonderful place to see biodiversity up close and personal. The namesake of the trail, the Square Trees, are one of the many highlights to experience on this trail. Come for the square trees and stay for the birds, butterflies, insects and sloths. Since November 2019, this trail is managed by the El Valle Amphibian Conservation Center Foundation (EVACC Foundation), a non-profit dedicated to saving 8 of Panama's most endangered species of amphibians, including the famous Panamanian golden frog. Proceeds go towards EVACC Foundation's ex situ breeding facility. "In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught" Baba Dioum. Salva lo que amas!

This is such a great experience! We decided to check out EVACC and hike the square trees trail and we are so happy that we did. The center was so cool to check out the golden frogs and the people are so passionate about conservation. The trail is so peaceful and there is a lot to check out on it. It was a nice hike that can be for all ages
