The Canopy Lodge in El Valle de Antón, a project of businessman and conservationist Raúl Arias de Parra, was finished in the fall of 2005. El Valle is about 60 miles from Panama City. For many years this has been the favorite vacation spot for residents of Panama City. It is also the home of one of the best craft markets in Panama. Known as the "Sunday Market", locals sell their crafts all week long, and this is a good place for souvenir shopping. El Valle is also called Crater Valley, as it sits in the crater of an extinct volcano that exploded 5 million years ago. The resultant scenery is quite dramatic: a steep valley surrounded by jagged peaks and filled with flowers, streams and verdant forests.
