We spent a long weekend in El Valle at Raúl's guesthouse since the new Canopy Lodge next door was not quite ready before heading to the Canopy Tower. (When it's open in a few months, the Lodge should be a fabulous place to stay.) You can see boats passing down the Panama Canal from the Tower, watch the birds, sloths, and monkeys from your room or the roof, and use it as a super base for trips around the area.
