Up early to begin our trek. The road was so rocky vehicles can´t even make it to the park entrance; we had to walk 1k to reach the park! The climb was definitly a challange and tested our fitness levels! We walked over HUGE boulders, then over rocky road and it was all at a 45 degree angle! Around each corner we hoped to see a flat road, but , no! We reached the campsite after 6pm and set up camp just as the cold was setting in. We were in bed by 7.30, in all...

A quick, painless journey to Boquete. They showed movies the whole way on the bus - the most gruesome, pointlessly violent horrors I´d ever seen! And the bus was full of children!

When we were crossing the Queen Emma bridge, it began to swing open, floating across the water. Such a novelty! We loved this place.
