Leave the busy city behind and drive 2 hours west to the small resort town of
El Valle de Anton. It is located in the center of an extinct volcano that erupted
with such force about 3 million years ago that it blew its top off, creating an
enormous crater 3 miles across. The valley rises 1968 feet above sea level with
breathtaking views and a cool and pleasant climate. El Valle offers the opportunity
for such eco-adventures as rafting, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, and
a canopy tour. On Sundays there is a handicrafts market.
