Day 01

Square trees.

The valley is unique because of the strange square trees that grew on the volcanic soil. The rectangular shape of the trees is directly related to the conditions in the valley - when planted in another location, the trees have normal circular trunks.

Chorro El Macho

The Cascades d'El Macho is a magical place.

Everything is perfectly indicated on the suspension bridges to allow you to access the natural swimming pool.

Where you can swim in pure nature.

Market

We will stop for dinner at the central market where you can see typical Panama crafts.
