There are simply no words that will adequately describe the beauty of El Valle. It was breathtaking and the climate was perfect.
Here are some photos from our short few hours we spent there.
Incredible views!
This is Los Capitanes, a gorgeous resort just off the main road, where we had lunch outdoors surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was a little overcast and we could hear thunder in the distance, but El Valle stayed dry and we stayed cool.
A great market that I did read about in my Lonely Planet guidebook is open every day in El Valle's town center. There's everything here from fresh fruits and veggies to sculptures of the elusive golden frog and Panama hats!
We followed the main road just a bit further north to the famed El Macho waterfall. There are plenty of signs leading the way.
It costs $3.50 per person to see the waterfall and Oscar here was our guide. We even got our own walking sticks. Not for keeps, though.
At one point we had to cross a little waterway. It was touch and go, but I made it!
There are a few of these rope bridges that need crossing before you get to El Macho. As you can see, these are in much better shape than the one in "Romancing the Stone."
