El Valle is a lovely mountain town just two hours from Panama City. The drive is mostly on the Pan-American highway (expressway) with the last half hour driving on a two lane, rather windy and steep country road that is in good shape. El Valle de Anton, known simply as El Valle is nestled in the second largest volcano crater in the world - a five by three mile crater created when a volcano blew its top off five million years ago. A lovely steep valley surrounded by jagged peaks and rich volcanic soil that gives way to flowers and verdant forest is the result. El Valle also boasts a near perfect year-round spring climate.
