For El Valle de Anton: We spent 2 nights at Patti’s home. We were hosted in her apartment that is really cozy and stylish. Very comfortable bed and large windows with a wonderful view of the mountains and lush forest. Her bookshelf is amazing and made such a wonderful impression. The kitchen is well furnished with the essentials and we used it with great pleasure. The downtown center is relatively close (~30mins) for those that do not mind walking. We visited “La India Dormida” from there early in the morning and saw some beautiful birds and butterflies. We also enjoyed “El Pastoreo”, a very nice trail-loop close to her property that reaches higher up in the mountain nearby and where you can admire the whole Valle de Anton with an exceptional view. The driveway is very steep but we didn’t have any problems walking it. Valle de Anton is conveniently reachable from Panama city in about 3 hours with buses every ~30 mins. Thank you so much Patti for making our trip such a memorable adventure. We hope to be back one day and enjoy more of your beautiful place.

The walk to get there is a bit steep. There are stairs too but they can be a bit slippery.

Amazing view. The owner was very accomodating, and has a binder with useful tips and phone numbers of places and things to do around El Valle. Since it's a bit hard to actually get to the room from where you park, the owner will assist with your luggage both on arrival and as you depart. The room was clean and very comfy. A well equipped kitchen as well.

Patti is a wonderful host who is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The accommodation is tranquil, surrounded by beautiful nature and wildlife, in the middle of the forest. The town is easily accessible via a pleasant 30/40 minute walk. I spent 4 wonderful nights relaxing and will for sure be back.

Amazing views and great birding!

Was hoping the house had a bigger view, but really did not hinder our enjoyment.

Really cute place in a forest of flowers and birds. Patti was an excellent host - communicative, helpful. The house had everything we needed; we loved our stay.

it was remote and quiet. Maybe a bit far for some, but Iñmany will enjoy the privacy. Really nice to have a sitting room and kitchen with a private balcony and nothing in the view but trees.

Everything was great!

The private house was amazing! It's pretty much in the middle of the woods, and there's a great chance you get the see exotic birds on the balcony of the house. Patty, the host, was amazing and very welcoming, she had already previously contacted me and gave me instructions about the house and its location, very professional. I will definitely be returning to this place this summer, it's a great place for couples!

The drive way was a little steep

It is a slice of Paradise! Beautiful flowers, fruit trees and birds. Patti is an amazing hostess. Always knows how to find the people to drive you were you need to be and the right stores to go for shopping. 🇵🇦❤️

The view is amazing and the location is unique! You are surrounded by nature. Patty is a great host who knows everything about the birds and animals around. We felt very welcomed. We highly recommend this place!

We received towels in the beginning and spent three nights there. After some time the towels didnt really dry properly and stayed damped. But I'm sure we could have asked for fresh towels. A hair dryer might also be nice (maybe i overlooked it?)

Patty is a very nice host. We really enjoyed our stay in Valle de Anton. the house is a bit rustic but that is already visible in the photos and part of the charm. Generally i would recommend to book the loft (upstairs) if you like bird watching. We put fruit in the feeder downstairs and hardly saw any bird. While on the upstairs balcony there were lots of birds without food :) Unfortunately the upstairs room wasnt available when we booked, but then ended up being empty the whole time while we were there. I really like that some basic cooking things were in the kitchen like coffee, oil, salt etc. there is also a big oven - a lot of vacation rentals dont have that.

La Chachalaca is such a beautiful spot in the jungle to spend some days in Valle de Anton. The view from the rooms and from the terrace is just wonderful and you can see a lot of birds and other animals in the garden. Patti is one of the nicest persons, she gave us food for the birds and was always there if we needed something. Definitely recommend that place.

We spent one of the most spectacular holidays at La Chachalaca, away from the noise and the everyday rush of city life. It is the perfect place for a mountain getaway. La Chachalaca is nested in the forested hills of El Valle de Antón, in a small, secluded valley, not too far from the town, and a hiking trail with amazing vistas. Accomodations are beyond cozy and lovely, and our host was beyond friendly and helpful. Their garden is absolutely gorgeous. We watched a stunning sunset. We saw clouds fly above our heads and stars shine in a blanket of jet. We spotted oropendolas, toucans and hummigbirds from our balcony. Highly recommended; you will fall in love with this place!

Stayed in February 2022

Everything was perfect.

The Chachalaca is a paradise to return to after the wonderful hiking trails in El Valle. The location is perfect away from the traffic and roosters of other spots with only the smoothing sounds of nature to lull you asleep. The apartment is well equipped, the bed comfortable with quality linen, and Patty the hostess is terrific. We'd stay here again.

Excellent place for bird watchers and a peaceful gateway. Will definitely come back!

It was all perfect - thanks

Amazing location, you fall asleep looking at the stars, and wake up with the birds singing and eating fruit on your terrace. A paradise place on earth, we will definitely be back!

beatiful room surrounded by nature and birds. we felt very much at home.

The apartment is located in the middle of the forest, so you are surrounded by pure nature and it’s beauty but still have a very high standard of living (warm water, kitchen, fridge etc.).
