El Valle, Stratovolcano in central Panama.
The volcano features multiple lava domes within its caldera, including Cerro Pajita, Cerro Gaital, and Cerro Caracoral at 1,185 meters elevation.
Research in the 1990s revealed that El Valle's last eruption occurred 200,000 years ago, leading to the collapse of its summit into the magma chamber.
The surrounding region maintains traditional Panamanian markets where local artisans sell handcrafted items and farmers offer fresh agricultural products.
Visitors can reach El Valle through regular bus services or private vehicles from Panama City, with the journey taking approximately two and a half hours.
El Valle stands as the easternmost volcanic formation along the Central American Volcanic Arc, formed by the Nazca Plate subduction.
