El Valle

El Valle holidays

Only two hours drive west of Panama City, El Valle is a picturesque mountain town, nestling within a vast, extinct volcanic crater. The second largest such crater in the world. Surrounded by steep mountainsides, jagged peaks and verdant countryside, filled with an abundance of colourful flowers and fruit trees, El Valle makes for spectacular scenery and a tranquil stay.

There is plenty to see and do whilst in El Valle, whether it be bird-watching (several hummingbird species), visiting the petroglyphs, white water rafting, relaxing on nearby white sandy beaches, hiking in lush woodland or horse-riding. Relaxing in a hammock is the way of life in El Valle and these are plentiful (and offer excellent value) in the local shops!

The climate in El Valle is pleasant and much cooler than that in Panama City although, again, be prepared for showers at any time.
