The next day, we took a water taxi to an island with a huge banana plantation. Just by driving through the island you can see every step in the process of banana cultivation, processing, and packaging. (The amount of insecticide being sprayed was somewhat alarming.)
From this island, we took a motorized canoe up the Changuinola River and went on an adventure. We docked at various islands, popping in and out of rainforests. At one excursion, we almost cut the trip short by nearly stepping on a sleeping boa constrictor. We also traversed rapids by foot (quite slippery and probably not a good idea), and visited an indigenous village where the children presented us with a Tiger Dance. Some pics!
Canoein' around.
Walking across this wasn't fun.
These kids were cute but their Tiger Dance was crap.
