A Perfect Blend of Adventure, Wildlife, and Local Charm! - We had a fantastic experience on the Anton Valley tour! The hike up to La India Dormida was absolutely breathtaking; both for the stunning views and the rewarding sense of achievement. We were lucky to have David as our tour guide and were joined by Elizabeth, who is training to be a tour guide. They both brought a lot of knowledge to the day, along with such friendly, positive vibes; it felt like exploring with local friends who genuinely cared about making the experience great. David, our main tour guide and driver, was absolutely brilliant; super friendly, experienced, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had us laughing all day with his great sense of humour and made sure we felt comfortable and well looked after. He was also incredibly patient! David took us to a traditional Panamanian restaurant for lunch, which was delicious and such a nice cultural touch. We also loved our visits to the Nispero Zoo, the Artisan Market, and the Frog Sanctuary. Each stop offered something unique and memorable, especially learning about the endangered golden frog and the conservation efforts to protect it. The entire tour was well-organized, fun, and filled with unforgettable moments. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting El Valle de Antón; a perfect mix of nature, culture, and local charm. Thank you for such a wonderful day!

Great Day Out! - We did the La India Dormida hike in El Valle de Antón yesterday and had an unforgettable experience, largely thanks to our incredible guide, David. From the very start, David was warm, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt comfortable and excited for the journey ahead. The hike itself isn’t too difficult, but good footwear with grip is definitely a must, as some sections are quite steep, especially near the beginning. Luckily, it started raining only toward the end, by then, we’d already passed the trickiest parts. One of the highlights was seeing the famous petroglyphs on the painted rocks. David shared that their meaning is still a mystery, some say it could be a map, others think it might be a harvest calendar. He really brought the history and legends of the area to life. Along the way, he pointed out the best photo spots, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. The whole hike took about two hours, with plenty of time to pause, take in the scenery, and snap photos. He brought us to a lovely spot for lunch after the hike. But the day didn’t end there. David also took us to the local zoo and market, where he continued to share interesting facts and stories. Honestly, David is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had. He was attentive, fun, and made the whole day feel really special. If you’re planning to do this hike, I can’t recommend David enough. We had such a great time, and it’s a day we’ll remember for a long time.
