Located in the mountains just North of the Pacific Beaches of Santa Clara and Farallon lies the Area of Anton Valley, or El Valle de Anton to give it its full name. The area has easy access, and is just 90 minutes from Panama City. The town of Anton has seen recent growth in both infrastructure and population, yet it is still a small picturesque hamlet, which has managed to keep its charm intact. The recent increase in population has to be due to the cool, yet sunny climate combined with easy access to other areas.

The area is famous amongst Panama's elite, and the local hand craft indian markets. Fresh fruit and other produce and souvenirs are all very popular in the area, with both visitors and locals supporting the markets.

The Valle has a lot to offer visitors and residents alike, with many activities being available in the area, as well as Ocean views in some parts. You can play Tarzan in the Rainforest as you zip through the canopy on zip lines with one of the canopy tours, or for the less adventurous why not take a scenic horseback ride through the area. You will always be able to find something to do in this great area. One of the main attractions of the area is a huge, painted stone which is covered in carvings. Many believe it to be a map of the area, however nobody can understand it!
