Continue your adventure touring different orchid sites of Panama. You will first head to El Valle de Anton explore the many trails and this quaint little town. Your exploration continues with a visit to the Finca Dracula in the Chiriqui Highlands
Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
After breakfast we’ll continue our Panama travels with a two-hour drive along the Pan-American Highway into beautiful El Valle. This mountain town is located in the crater of an ancient volcano that erupted with such ferocity it left a 3-mile-wide scar on the landscape. This crater is the largest in the Americas. We’ll hike the valley’s trails admiring its hummingbirds and other tropical wildlife including a golden frog unique to the area. El Valle’s spring-like climate is perfect for exploring the vast variety of trails that run past Indian petroglyphs, hot spring and waterfalls. At El Macho Falls we’ll securely strap into a harness, and through a series of cables and pulleys, we’ll observe the landscape from four different platforms on a canopy adventure. At 220 feet above the forest floor, we share this rare and remarkable view with the animals sheltered within the canopy. Enjoy a traditional Panamanian lunch, and with time, explore the city’s markets where locals sell colorful handmade baskets, clay figures, vegetables and flowers. Overnight in El Valle
This morning take a flight to the town of David. Here you will be met and transferred to the small town of Guadalupe. This quaint town boasts itself as a garden city. Enjoy the beauty as you gaze upon flowers and agricultural plots that surround the city. This afternoon we are on to explore the Finca Dracula Orchid Sanctuary. With over 2000 species of orchids, the sanctuary is one of Latine America's finest collections of Orchids. The rest of the afternoon is yours to explore and learn about the orchids. Tonight relax at Los Quetzales Lodge and Spa. Located near the center of town, this lodge offers a variety of spa services as well as many trails into the Baru Volcano National Park.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
Very responsive to questions. Helpful with all arrangements

I’m so glad we found AdventureLife. Jess, our planner, was such a pleasure to work with. She readily shared her extensive knowledge about Panama, she offered good suggestions and creative ideas, kept everything organized and handled the details each step of the way.
