Cerro Cara Iguana
National park
👍👍 Great hike and beautiful views, compare to other ones this is quite easy, as there is a route almost to the top of the hill. Be ready for the strong wind and rainy showers. If you go for sunset do not forget a torch or charged your phone so you can use your flash

Cascada Las paila de loma grande| Pozo Azul
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Great waterfall to swim in. The higher basins require some moderate climbing, but the lower one is accessible by stairs.
Be aware that the last 2-3km of the road is incredibly bumpy and unpaved (December 2022). If it is absolutely dry, you can make it with a regular car. We made it with a front whe...

Butterfly Haven
Tourist attraction
👍 Please note that this review is by a US tourist and not a local guide.
Fun place to spend a few hours. The butterflies were beautiful. The guy running the place gave nice explainations about the butterflies. It is small, but worth the nominal charge (unlike some tourist traps here - beware of the s...

Caracoral Hotel Boutique & Spa
Hotel
👍👍 Beautiful hotel. I would love to come back and stay if I had a comfy budget.
As for the restaurant, probably best place for dinner in el Valle. Excellent food and service, and no price gouging.

Los Chorros de Olá, Coclé
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful! There’s actually three falls here, but we didn’t have time to make it up to the second or third. Walking from the parking area is about 15-20 min so not far. Definitely worth a visit 👍👍

Piedra Pintada
Tourist attraction
👍 Place is good. If you’re in Anton Valle then it’s definitely worth visiting for an hour or two and it’s easy to access. More of a local swimming hole/water park than an actual “waterfall”, but the area is still super pretty.

Buenaventura Zoo
Zoo
😠 I went to the zoo today with my husband and the conditions of the animals there made us so sad that we only left a short while after arriving. They put too many birds in the same cages. Where the turtles and alligators did not give them any water. They were living in nothing but concrete and mud. W...

Chorro Las Mozas
Water park
👍👍 This place offers a little adventure for people of all ages. The trek from the parking lot to the waterfall felt about ten to thirteen minutes. Although it is a straight walk you will have to deal with changes in the terrain. You will experience a mix of flat rock, jagged rocks, narrow dirt walkways...

Serpentario Maravillas Tropicales
Non-profit organization
😠 This is a very loveless place, the hold rabbits on iron grid, they have no space. It is really bad. Everything is dirty and they don't care of the animals. The price for foreign
people is 4.50 for adults.

Chorro Macho
Nature preserve
🫤 The additional star is for the nature itself but as usual - whatever people control, immediately degrades and goes to $hit. You pay the entrance of $5 just to be able to walk 200 meters and see the waterfall from 100 meters away. You cannot approach despite being very easy and safe, without disturbi...
