La India Dormida hike in Panama is a short trek along the rim of an ancient volcanic crater near the charming town of El Valle De Anton. The Legend: Luba, who they called “Flor del Aire”, or “Air Flower,” was the daughter of Urraca, the most successful Chief in Panama fighting against the Conquistadores. It was her misfortune to fall in love with one of the Spanish soldiers. Yavari, one of the strongest fighters of her tribe, vied for her affection. When she did not return his love, he jumped to his death from a mountain top before the Princess’ eyes in despair. In sorrow, Princess Flor del Aire left her home and never saw the Spaniard again. She crossed mountains and valleys bitterly weeping over her fate. Above the beaches of the Caribbean, she fell dead looking back at the beloved mountains where she had been born. This sad love story so touched the mountains they decided to form the shape of the Princess, and that is how the India Dormida arose.
