At some 2,000 feet above sea level, El Valle de Anton and its surroundings is cooler and less humid than at lower elevations. That makes it a popular residential area with both Panamanians and retirees from other parts of the world, and there are some fine homes here. Late evenings are sufficiently cool that long sleeves or a light jacket might be more comfortable. Year-round average high temperature is 20° C (68° F), and the average nighttime minimum is a comfortable 16° C (61° F), with little variation between summer and winter.
