San Blas, Boats, Mangrove, Swimming, Crocodiles and Birds - lots and lots of birds!

*~This is not the exact river boat we used - but it was just like it~*
We took a 2 hour ride up La Tovara, thru the mangrove and ended at a natural spring where we got to jump in. Once we returned we realized we had been gone for 4 hours!

Our Mangrove guide and boat driver extraordinaire - Miguel
AKA: Aquaman (I talked him into swimming with us)
He was actually VERY informative and helpful with finding and identifying birds on the trip!

I still can't believe I swung out and jumped into the springs - and 4 times too!
No crocodiles here! They had this area roped/netted off, thank GOD! But we did share it with a zillion carp-si-doodle fishes...


My dad and sister headed for a dip in the fresh water springs!

Some movies have been made in this mangrove... do you recognize these huts?


Exploring the church (Temple to our Lady of the Rosary) and fort (built to defend the port of San Blas from Spaniards) on the hill above San Blas.
