On the coast the jungle came right down to the sea so we could dinghy ashore and enter wondrous Indian trails that had been used for thousands of years. These Amerindians migrated from Mongolia to as far as Cape Horn.

On the Eastern Border of Columbia we were in a beautiful bay and talked about it on our ssb radio to other boats. Four boats were within 100 miles and came into the bay for an international party

From Sapzurro (a tiny town with many delightful inhabitants that even had an ice-cream shop...bliss!) we climbed through jungle to the Colombian border, showed our passports, and entered Panama for the day.

Carnivals arealways happening throughout South America This one at Baranquilla had 300 groups parading

We never tired of hiking through the jungle. A million plants and shades of green broken by a spectacularly coloured bird or flower.
