Anton's Valley
Geological Information
Anton's Valley, the home of the eternal spring, is well known for its fresh spring-like climate throughout the year. This town is located on a valley of 18.3kms2 with an elevation of 600mts above sea level and a climate of 18 degrees Celsius. The valley was once a volcano crater, reason for which hills and volcanic rocks surround the entire area.
The valley has a unique biological diversity and protects a great number of flora species of the Pre-mountainous Humid Forests. It protects endangered wild fauna such as the Golden Frog, only found in this region. The presence of numerous types of orchids as well as the Zambia (Panamanian flora fossil), exposes the high ecological biodiversity of the area.
The Written Stone
Among the most outstanding attractions of the region is the Written Stone, located at the foot of La India Dormida, where you may find fossils of the first indiginous communities of the area. Engraved in stones, images and other symbols for which meanings have not yet been decifered. El Macho is a spectacular waterfall from the Yellow Stream with a height of 35 meters, considered to be an ecological refuge due to its exuberant vegetation. Cerro La Vieja is located over the central mountains in the same route to the Mesoamerican Biological Corridor, uniting the Escaliche hills with Anton's Valley, which represents the maximum ecological promise of Central America since it is the main ecological project for wild life protection of the region.
