La India Dormida, Mountain viewpoint in Coclé Province, Panama.
The natural formation at the summit displays a silhouette that mirrors the shape of a reclining woman against the mountain landscape.
Chief Urraca's daughter Luba, known as Airflower, became part of local history when she fell in love with a Spanish official during tribal conflicts.
The mountain holds significance in Panamanian folklore through the tale of an indigenous woman whose unrequited love led to her transformation into the mountain range.
The hiking trail to reach the summit takes approximately 45 minutes from El Valle town, with the best viewing conditions occurring during sunrise hours.
The viewpoint sits within the El Valle region, which contains the only inhabited volcanic crater in Panama, surrounded by mountains and valleys.
