Are there rivers, lakes and waterfalls in or around El Valle de Anton, Panama?

There is a small lake in El Valle de Anton called La Laguna.  Many of the wealthy have started taking up residence there.  The next closest lake is lake Gatun (a few hours away by car), which is part of the Panama Canal, and is really good for fishing.

There are a lot of rivers in El Valle, which by the way is situated inside and ancient and huge crater.  One of the most scenic areas is Las Mozas, where the river drops through several waterfalls, on its way to the Pacific Ocean.  Another famous waterfall is El Macho.  There is also thermal water, however they are not very warm and the last time I was there, the spot I visited did not impress me very much.  Its been a while and there might be improvements...

Actually, El Valle de Antón is a very interesting place to visit, and in which to retire.  Peaceful, good weather, quiet, with a feel of being in the country, yet you have the necessary modern elements to pamper you with a comfortable life.  The locals are kind and helpful.  Many Panamanians have their weekend homes in El Valle de Antón for generations.  Now, more and more foreigners are seeking El Valle as a good choice to live permanently. ...

One thing that makes El Valle very "peculiar" is its thermal waters. Visitors and locals go there to take a nice mud treatment, followed by a thermal water bath; a natural spa.

 

Also, I should mention the public market, especially Sunday morning, after church, as well as the bio diversified exotic zoo and orchid sanctuary, which is definitely, a place to visit.

 

With modern hotels, restaurants and houses, picturesque roads, hills, mountains, beautiful horses, situated at 2.5 hours from the city (Panama City), El Valle is one the towns in Panamá most worth a visit.
