Great but be prepared to "work" at the climb

4.00Great hike BUT...Be Aware...this is strenuous with most of it comprised of steep uphill climbs. The trail is littered with leaves that are wet and slippery (One of our party actually slipped and fell twice). It can be treacherous in spots but the views at the top are spectacular
Great experience!!

5.00Such a wonderful hike experience! I truly loved and appreciated how much our guide Luis knew about the valley de Antón, the canal and panamá in a whole. Luis was very informative, professional, friendly and really made sure that we were all happy with what we could do next after our first hike trail. I can't forget about our amazing driver Paola! She's a fantastic driver and she was very polite, friendly and respectful. I would highly recommend this excursion for anyone looking for a new challenge that either hasn't hiked before or loves hiking!
An amazing day of hiking, food, and authentic connection!

5.00We enjoyed an amazing day exploring Valle de Antón, hiking India Dormida, authentic Panamanian lunch, and then visiting Chorro Macho waterfall. Our tour guide Luis and driver Paola were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and personable. The day was wonderful and I would highly recommend. I would do this again!

5.00The first trail is very steep with a large change in elevation and can be very slippery. Good hiking shoes are recommended.

5.00Great tour. Our guide Luis is great. We only have 3 people on this tour and we are all physically fit, so he customized the tour to give us a lot of hiking. The trails are great and the views are breathtaking. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who is seeking nature and some physical activity in Panama.

5.00My husband and I reserved a hiking tour thru VIATOR Company. Our tour guide Luis and driver were on time to pick us up at our hotel. Our tour guide Luis is very professional and knowledgeable explains to us the history while we are hiking and what the day would entail. Even though it was raining at time during the first part of the hike, Luis guide us safely us the mountain of the INDIA DORMIDA. Normally after the 2 hours hike, we would go for lunch. Instead, we ask the guide if we could do the 2nd hike instead of going to lunch and he said we could and it turns out to be a good idea. We hike up mount CERRO LA SILLA to the WHITE CROSS and the STATUE of the VIRGIN MARY on the opposite side of the mountain. Luis is an excellent tour hike and our driver did a great good job driving us to and from Panama City to the hiking site. Most of all we arrived back to our hotel on time and safely. We highly recommend this tour. Happy customers from North Carolina, USA
Fantastic day

5.00Day trip to Anton Valle from Panama city with Luis and Paola. Was all super well organized. Despite the bad weather I had a fantastic day.
Highly recommended active hiking tour.

5.00If you are looking for an active participation tour rather than one that just drops you off for quick photo ops at tourist traps, this is definitely the one. Our family of four was picked up by tour director Luis Franco and we met up with just one more couple before the two-hour drive from Panama City to the Anton Valley. Throughout the ride Luis provided commentary. At the starting point of the morning hike we were met by local guide Gilma Martinez. This first hike took us through the rainforest past hieroglyphs and waterfalls to the top where there was an excellent view of the extinct crater. It became apparent pretty quickly that there was a big difference in hiking ability between our group and the other couple, but that was no problem as we went ahead with Gilma while Luis followed with the two others at a slower pace. Gilma was fluent in English and she was able to spot wildlife for us to admire from a distance. Lunch was on our own, but Luis had made reservations for us ahead of time. His pick was outstanding and yet affordable. After lunch we were met by ATV's that took us to the starting point of the second hike. Again we split up by ability. Since we were faster, we actually managed 1.5 hikes. From the mountain tops we again had a great view of the valley below and could see the high rises along the Pacific coast resorts in the far distance. After our descent the ATVs took us to waiting vans that brought us and the other couple separately back to our respective hotels. Once more Luis provided commentary in our van and also suggestions for the rest of our stay in Panama. Overall this was a great experience and is most highly recommended.
Top Notch Tour!

5.00Lucked out and ended up getting a private tour as there were no other bookings. Luis is an amazing and experienced guide, my partner and I felt very well taken care of. He is well connected and was able to get us a last minute reservation at a popular restaurant in the area for lunch. He's also a great conversationalist. We learned a lot about the Anton Valley region and living in Panama in general. As it is a hiking tour, some level of physical fitness is required. Alltrails rates the La India Dormida and Cerro la Silla hikes as moderate difficulty which I think is accurate. The heat and humidity can be challenging and both trails can be slippery due to mud and loose rocks, respectively, but neither are overly technical. Overall, I think this tour is an amazing choice for those who are less interested in the typical tourist offerings in the area and would like to spend more time in nature enjoying the beautiful views that Anton Valley has to offer.
