A Piece of Heaven

A February 2005 trip to El Valle by alitravel

Panama is a safe, beautiful country, and El Valle de Anton is a wonderful place to base yourself. For writers and artists, I recommend a long stay. I feel a bit like the guy in The Beach giving away the map writing this.

I enjoyed the thermal baths for , great walks through thick jungle, nice people - practice saying buenas before you go - and stunning views.

Quick Tips:

Don’t be surprised if you encounter a tarantula or witness a Blue Morpho floating through the jungle.

Best Way To Get Around:

Take a bus down the InterAmerican Highway to Las Uvas, take a bus to El Valle, and then walk, walk, walk to your destination.

Hotel

It is $50 to $60 a night for a double room with a kitchen and hot shower, breakfast included.

Think of a secluded piece of heaven at the top of a terrible road. Think of a room with a firm bed - those of you already in Panama will know why I mention this - and a great breakfast - tortillas, huevos, fruit, cereal, and frigoles. Think of a friendly host who has lived in Panama for 40 years, a pet parrot, and views the flip your stomach every time you see them. Right now, you’re thinking of Los Nances. See www.losnances.com.
