Victoriano Lorenzo museum
During this part of the trip, we visited a museum called “Museo Victoriano Lorenzo” it was located in El Valle de Antón, Panamá. The guide told us about the formation of this valley. When the volcano of El Valle was alive, its activity was so strong that it closed the passage of the seas, formed the Isthmus of Panama and united to the American continent.
Geographically was born a bridge and a barrier that changed the geological history of the planet. Then the site cooled off and its crater instead of fire was filled with water, giving way to a large lake that eventually collapsed and spilled in streams along the Anton River. This gave way to a wonderful space that is today one of the most visited tourist destinations in Panama. The Valley, surrounded by peaks ranging between 800, to 1,185 meters of Cerro Gaital has a cool climate and persistent rainfall that make it very different from the nearby surroundings of the beaches. It became a mountainous massif whose broad skirts extend from Capira to Penonomé and is the source of innumerable rivers flowing towards the Pacific. Some such as Matahogado, El Chame, Zarate and others that flow into the Caribbean Sea as the important and navigable Indian River. The latter is being studied by water authorities to meet the needs of more than 2 million people living in the transited zone.
