Description

Begin your adventure with a convenient hotel pickup, where you'll be greeted by your friendly bi-lingual tour guide. Settle into a comfortable, air-conditioned car and embark on a scenic drive through the picturesque countryside on your way to Anton Valley. As you travel, your guide will share fascinating insights into the region's rich history, vibrant culture, and unique geography, setting the stage for an unforgettable day. Upon arriving in Anton Valley, you'll be greeted by the town's natural beauty and charm. Your day is designed to be flexible, offering you the choice between two exciting tour options: Option A: Begin with a hike along the famous India Dormida trail, which winds around the rim of an ancient crater. Enjoy breathtaking views of the valley below as you learn about the area's cultural significance and the enchanting legend of the 'Sleeping Indian.' After the hike, you can choose to visit one of the following: the Golden Frog Sanctuary (closed on Wednesdays), where you can observe the critically endangered Panamanian golden frog; the Nispero Zoo & Botanical Garden, home to sloths, jaguars, and exotic birds; or the vibrant Artisan Market, where you can browse a wide array of local crafts, souvenirs, and artwork. Option B: Opt for a shorter, more leisurely hike that takes you to the mysterious petroglyphs and serene waterfalls. Along the way, you'll have the chance to take a refreshing swim in the natural pools beneath the falls. Afterward, visit the Artisan Market, where you can explore stalls filled with local handicrafts, souvenirs, and unique artworks. Then, choose to visit one of the following: the Golden Frog Sanctuary, where you can learn about efforts to protect the rare Panamanian golden frog; or the Nispero Zoo & Botanical Garden, where you can admire exotic wildlife and stroll through gardens filled with colorful orchids and native plants. As your morning activities conclude, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant in Anton Valley.
