The story

Festival de la India Dormida in El Valle de Anton

Festival de la India Dormida is a folk celebration in El Valle de Anton, the Cocle mountain town set inside a volcanic caldera, named for the sleeping-woman silhouette of the ridge west of town and honoring the indigenous legend attached to it through music, crafts and food.

El Valle de Anton sits inside the caldera of a volcano that last erupted an estimated 300,000 years ago, a flat, fertile bowl surrounded by mountain walls that gives the town its cool, spring-like climate even though it lies just two hours from tropical Panama City.

The place changes

El Valle de Anton is unusual among Panama's festival towns for its setting: the community sits inside the flat caldera of a dormant volcano at roughly 600 meters elevation, several degrees cooler than the Panamanian lowlands, ringed by mountains including the India Dormida ridge whose profile is said to resemble a sleeping indigenous woman
