El Valle de Antón

Mountains

A town built inside the crater of an ancient volcano, surrounded by waterfalls and cloud forest.

El Valle sits inside one of the largest inhabited volcanic craters in the world. Weekends bring families from the city who come for the thermal springs, the Sunday craft market and the cool air. Hiking trails lead to waterfalls hidden in the forest.
