Welcome to the El Valle de Anton, Panama community information board. PLEASE REFER TO THE "RULES OF CONDUCT" IN EMAIL NO. 1 POSTED 22 APRIL 2006 WHEN THIS SITE WAS CREATED. This is a forum for members of this community be they long time residents or new comers of all ethnic backgrounds and those would like to be folks that want to know more about El Valle to resource and find information. It is a place to exchange information, meet each other, express concerns, inform of upcoming events, generate interest in special situations and express your views and ideas. It is not intended to be an exclusive site but rather an inclusive site for ALL members of the El Valle community be they Spanish or English speaking residents. Here is a description of the Nasa Satellite view I placed as our group photo. Original Caption Released with Image: This perspective view shows central Panama, with the remnants of the extinct volcano El Valle in the foreground and the Caribbean Sea in the distance. El Valle underwent an explosive eruption about 3 million years ago, forming a crater 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) across, one of the largest in the Americas. The crater subsequently filled with water forming a huge lake, but about 12,000 years ago a breach at the present site of the waterfall Choro de las Mozas caused it to drain, forming the present valley. Within the crater is the town of El Valle de Anton, whose 600-meter (1,968-foot) elevation and resulting cooler climate make it a popular tourist and vacation site.
