Tavida Waterfall

Reviewed By Patuli - San Luis Obispo, United States

Stunning waterfall in the mountains. Perfect place for a swim, contemplation, learning about permaculture, couples travel. You can go for the day for $5 or stay in one of the guest rooms for a few nights. Birds, flowers, cooler air - lovely place. Lunch was decent - great sautéed plantains and homemade orange cheesecake.

Aprovaca (The Orchid Nursery & Conservation Center)

APROVACA is an orchid nursery & conservation center. We display over 100 beautiful orchids, most of which are native to Panama. We are one of the few places where the National Flower of Panama, the Holy Ghost Orchid, is grown. In the greenhouse dedicated exclusively to this endangered flower, each plant that grows has a sponsor, who donates $20 annually to help us care for and protect this gorgeous species. In our garden, you can see many unique orchid species, such as the vanilla orchid (vanilla is actually an orchid!), lady slipper orchids, oncidiums, other tropical botanicals and many miniature species. As such, there is no better place to learn about the amazingly rich and unique flora of Panama! Our center operates Hostel Orchid, the first genuine backpacker accommodation in El Valle. Also a few rooms can be booked for those preferring a more private experience. All bookings include free visit to the center. Visit our website to learn more. We are look forward to your visit!

El Serpentario

Reviewed By CamarD - The Hague, The Netherlands

We visited the Serpentario. It is not big, but it took us an hour to go through. The staff explained the different species, showed how you can identify poisonous snakes and demonstrated the difference between caimans and crocodiles. My son of 5 was mesmerized.
