El Valle Mountain Tours

We offer high-adventure tours and hikes. By far our most popular tour is the Slot Canyon Waterfall which takes about 3 hours. This is an amazing tour up into the mountains and deep into the jungle {rainforest} through several streams until we reach the waterfall entrance. Once we arrive it's a 5 minute walk down the 200 stairs to reach the waterfall. People with mobility issues are welcome as long as they are able to handle the 200 stairs. We offer walking sticks to help and also provide bottled water. This tour will be the highlight of your trip to Panama!

Gaital National Park

Reviewed By nickiBH

If you have to choose between wild life vs zipline/thermal/waterfall, you would enjoy cerro Gaital a lot more for being quietly amazed by tropical forest wildlife. However, if you expect thermal or zipline, please go elsewhere. Sometimes it’s worth doing a bit of a research to avoid going to a wrong destination and complain afterwards, to be fair. Minutes after we got off our van, we saw a huge hummingbird right away! Not to mention many more other rare birds. It’s definitely worth to hire a local wildlife guide who knows all the details. Ours is super professional. He has all the singing of the various birds on his phone and he also carries a portable amplifier of these recorded singing to attract the rare birds for our easy sighting. He does it in a way that is not annoying to the nature and not other travellers (who are actually curious to see what birds would come!) We were also lucky to spot two sloths separately and one was even slowing moving! We also saw the biggest life blue butterfly we ever saw in the wild, and many more interesting plants. The climb uphill was not difficult but was a bit slippery coming downhill so a pair of hiking shoes or even sticks are advisable. I didn’t bring sticks but had a pair of gloves so it helped a bit. (Sunblock/mosquito repellent/ rain coat just in case) Don’t forget your binoculars of course! But it is so worth to see both oceans once you are at the top and overlook the living village in the crater. Enjoy a good hike!

The Sleeping Indian Girl

Reviewed By kristendef98

Wow!! View at the top was absolutely stunning. The trail is actually a loop, but we hiked out the way we came up. Beware that locals hang out around the entrance to the hike and ask you to pay them a few bucks to "look out after your car."

El Chorro Macho

This spectacular 35-meter waterfall features a natural lagoon at its bottom that, according to legend, is enchanted.

Reviewed By Bobhawk7 - Cornwall, Canada

I did the zip line tour and was so glad I did. They stopped us on the zip line right in front of the falls. It was a much better view than the small hikers had. So glad I did it
