Our Story

A dance that changed everything

It began with a show. Ari was on stage, lead singer, magnetic, completely in his element. Ana was in the crowd, brought there by her best friend with one simple promise: "just come see how good they are."


She screamed from the crowd that she loved him. And at the end of the night, as she was walking back from the bathroom, their eyes met, and with Jerry Rivera playing softly in the background, he asked her to dance. One hour of conversation later, they both knew something had shifted.


Life had its own timing. They weren't ready for each other yet. But the universe has a way of circling back to what matters, and when they met again, they were inseparable from the very first moment. Together since January 2024.


At Christmas in Spain, surrounded by Ana's brothers and their families, and her goddaughter, Ari thanked everyone and told them he had been waiting for this moment, for this reunion, because he wanted to marry her.

January is dry season, sunny, warm, and generally rainless. El Valle sits in a mountain valley at about 600 meters, so evenings can be pleasantly cool compared to Panama City. Expect warm afternoons and comfortable evenings. It is one of the most beautiful times to be in the valley.
