El Valle de Antón, commonly known as El Valle, is a small town situated in the crater of an extinct volcano in the Coclé province of central Panama. Located about 120 kilometers west of Panama City, El Valle sits at an elevation of approximately 2,000 feet above sea level, giving it a mild, spring-like climate year-round, with average daytime temperatures around 75°F. The town has a population of roughly 8,000 people and is known for its quiet atmosphere, natural beauty, and biodiversity. The surrounding area features dense cloud forests, waterfalls, rivers, and an abundance of native plant and animal species.

El Valle's volcanic origins contribute to its rich soil. Visitors often explore attractions such as the El Chorro Macho waterfall, natural hot springs, petroglyphs, and the unusual "Square Trees." Hiking is popular in the area, particularly on trails like La India Dormida, which offers sweeping views of the valley and surrounding mountains. Though small, the town has a vibrant artisan and produce market on weekends and is a popular destination for both Panamanians and international visitors seeking a peaceful retreat in a unique volcanic setting.
