Additional Information

Nestled an hour and a half away from the bustling city life, amongst towering mountains, is a quaint town of 8000 residents which was once an ancient crater. This picturesque town is adored by both natives and foreigners for a multitude of reasons.

Resting in the heart of an extinct volcano that last erupted a millennium ago, the town exudes an inviting and serene climate. The locals are amiable, and the town’s unrivalled natural allure is what sets it apart and makes it exceptional. Though it’s tranquil, the townsfolk are lively and hospitable. Experience a journey through the lush rainforest, marvel at the cascading waterfalls, or explore the diverse animal species at the local zoo, including the Capuchin monkey. After touring the spectacular waterfall within the national park, unwind and rejuvenate your spirit by dipping into the warm hot springs, and optionally, treat yourself to a mud mask facial. Embark on a journey to discover the magic of the town.

Must do! - Hector the tour guide and driver was an absolute pleasure to be with. My husband and I enjoyed the drive, views, lunch and all our stops throughout the day. We visited the zoo, waterfall, natural spring and local shops in the Valley. I 100% recommend this tour if your looking to have a nice relaxing day away from City life.

Scenic tour to Anton valley - Luis was a great guide, picked us up at our hotel and we took a nice ride through the country side to Anton valley. He’s full of great facts and stories about the country. Would highly recommend him for a tour if you are in town.

Escaping the city - It was very nice to get out of Panama City for a day. Spent my day with an exellent guide, Hector and his beautiful daughter Stacy. I also had a chance to visit the sloth sanctuary and a tropical garden, did a bit of shopping and had a nice lunch. It's always nice to meet the local dogs and have a chance to share my lunch with them. I also learned a lot about the local history of Anton Valley. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour - My wife and I had a fantastic day on the tour. Hector P was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Because it was just the two of us and our guide, the experience was very conversational and enjoyable. Great way to learn about Panama and experience El Valle de Anton.

Never been on a tour like this! - This was an amazing tour! Our tour guide, Hector, was super personable and picked us up right at our hotel and the fun began. Great conversation along the two hour ride up to Anton valley, and once we got there we had a nice tour of the zoo, we took great pictures with mountainous backdrops. Our next stop was the waterfall that we saw along a short but beautiful hike through a dense forrest leading to a natural pool for a swim in its refreshing waters. We then had a chance to shop around in the local community farmers market where we were able to pick up souvenirs. Never been on a tour like this and my girlfriend and I had a blast. Shout out to Hector and the Live Folks crew for facilitating this memorable journey!

Wonderful Area to Visit - Two hours from Panama City, without traffic. Windy road, but not too bad, last 30 minutes, but some nice views of the countryside. Nice small town with several restaurants, lots of nature-based things to do.

Best wedding anniversary gift ever- formidable! - We wanted to celebrate our 2nd year of anniversary in a very different and unique way, and i so wanted to impress my wife big time. This trip is great for so many reasons, the old crater, we have never been in one prior to this trip, the landscape up the mountains, wildlife, the zoo and of course the beautiful water fall and hot spring. The villagers are so welcoming and our local expert was excellent, we wanted to savour the local cuisine as we do that in every country we go, and Maria our tour guide took us to this restaurant that serves panamanian dish only, we loved the sancocho, kudos to you Maria. We had a formidable experience as our anniversary gift, thank you live folks. We surely will spread the words to our friends and family. We totally recommend this tour company, very professional team.

Long ride for small tourist orientated town - Long ride to see local market, souvenir store, small church, zoo and hot springs. I didn’t enjoy it.
