Anton Valley Excursion: Hiking, Waterfalls, Natural Pool and Zoo

Tour guide Oscar, was very friendly, informative and accommodating. The El Valle visitor center provides an overview of the area and a bit of history. The Nispero Zoo is surprisingly well laid out and an enjoyable experience. The cages seem to blend into the rain forest. The animals are very tame. El Macho waterfall is a beautiful sight. The area is well taken care of. You can spend a relaxing time here or do something more adventurous such as zip lining. Happened to see a sloth in a tree above the swimming area! The petroglyphs are interesting and a bonus visit to another small waterfall with a most welcome dip in the refreshing, cold waters. The craft market provides a few options for souvenirs and lunch. Pipa (coconut water) ice cream is a must try, unique flavor. A beautiful small village where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.

Our trip was with Gabrielle and it was an incredible experience! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He never pushed or pressured us to go through the experiences faster than we were ready. I really loved that because it allowed us to enjoy the trip at our own pace. He gave us local tips and was great to talk to. I'd love to book another trip with him in the future. He is fluent in spanish and english. One of the best guides I've ever had. 10/10

We had a wonderful time, Gabriel showed us across Anton Valley where we visited a waterfall, hidden spring, hiking trail and then we visited a zoo! He taught us about the history of Panama. He’s very friendly and respectful, I’d love it if he could show us around more!

This tour was a great day of outdoor adventure. The hike was bff held with beautiful foliage and cascading waterfalls. The natural pool was extremely refreshing and enhanced by the sloth and her baby hanging out above us in her natural habitat. The zoo and lunch with the eco habitat we visited while there to see the golden frogs of El Valle. Add to all of this Orlando’s knowledge, kindness and friendly personality and it was a great day spent with a new friend !

Orlando our tour guide was very knowledge and a very fun dude! When some of the attractions we wanted to go to were closed he quickly changed plans and made it fun!!!!

The tour was excellent, guide was very nice, friendly and informative. He also spoke very good english. Would highly recommend!

The tour was fantastic, excellent service, great views! The zoo was a lot bigger than expected with many great animals!

Orlando was an amazing tour guide. He made sure we had a great time. He knew the vibe and the atmosphere we were going for and made it happen. I organized a family trip with grandparents to grandkids and all ages in between and we all loved it. Highly recommended.
