Fascinating guide on an incredible hike! - We absolutely loved our experience with Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable about so many fascinating topics, including, biodiversity, history, science, and sustainable agriculture. We wanted a challenging yet family friendly hike with our 8 year old twins and 6 year old and he great options for us. His warm and easy-going nature made our kids feel really comfortable with him and piqued their interest in nature and history. We have done many hikes as a couple and a family and Carlos was one of the very best guides.

Carlos and the Trail of La India Dormida - an Amazing combination ! - The Trail of La India Dormida was just beautiful. But in this review we have to talk about how amazing is Carlos. Such a welcoming , warming , and kind person with plenty of knowledge about the geology, history, and culture of Panama, will make of this experience the most special for you in this trip to El Valle de Anton. If you are thinking of an activity to do, this is the one. Don’t think it more and just book your activity with Carlos . I promise that you won’t regret it ! We are sending greetings and the best of the wishes for Carlos and his family , from Saint Louis , MO. Sileiny, Ian, Carlitos and Carla .

Wild ride, beautiful destination - Breathtakingly beautiful! The road to this surprising, modern and lovely small town is a challenge-not for the faint of heart. We are so glad we experienced this place, even though for only one night..we should have stayed longer and regret not planning to do so.

Off the beaten track adventure! - We did 2 day trips with Carlitos from the El Valle area. Had a great time. Exactly what we wanted. Off the beaten track, adventure activities. We did a hike up the mountain on one day and went to the thermal baths. The next day we we went to different waterfalls in the area and went swimming in the natural ponds. Carlito was very friendly and very knowledgeable . Highly recommended
