I highly recommend this tour! El Valle... - <p>I highly recommend this tour! El Valle de Anton was breathtaking - quite a different experience from Panama City. The town itself was adorable, and the short hike to the waterfall gave one the feeling of being encased inside the jungle. The view looking down into the valley from one of the edge peaks was spectacular it gave some perspective as to what the outline of the extinct volcano would have looked like millions of years ago. I had a wonderful time visiting the wildlife preserve, even though I dont normally care for zoos this facility, which is in a lovely natural setting, was created to help rehabilitate animals and birds native to Panama, with the intent of releasing them back into the wild. My guide Tommy was excellent he was very knowledgeable, perfectly fluent in both English and Spanish, and very accommodating. As a female traveling alone, I really appreciated how trustworthy and respectful he was - I felt very at ease, and even like I had made a new friend! It was also so convenient to be picked up and dropped off right at your own hotel. I had done another tour with a different company where this service was not provided, and it made a huge difference. Moreover, when I mentioned my regret at not having time to see more of the Caribbean side of Panama during my trip, he said he could book a modified version of his San Lorenzo Fort excursion for me, a private tour specifically catered to my schedule I was flying out that afternoon. San Lorenzo fort is a gorgeous ruins in a spectacular location - right where the Chagres River meets the Caribbean Ocean. I was captivated and SO happy I didnt miss out on seeing it!</p>

Valle de Anton with Family - We had a fantastic family trip to Valle de Anton! The drive from Panama City was easy, and the cool mountain air was a refreshing change. We explored the fascinating painted rocks (La Piedra Pintada), saw incredible wildlife at the zoo (El Nispero Zoo), and marveled at the colorful butterflies at the butterfly haven (Mariposario). The whole experience was a breath of fresh air, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and educational getaway.

Anton Valley Trip - I had scheduled this trip last week while on my vacation to Panama. The company never contacted me to tell me when they were going to pick me up even after I emailed them and tried several times to contact them by phone both internationally and locally. Therefore this trip never occurred for me. Does this company even exist?
