Accommodation
We'll spend the first night in Panama City and the second night in Santa Catalina, both in double occupancy rooms with ensuite bathrooms. We'll spend the next 4 nights camping in roomy tents in a secluded campsite that we have all to ourselves. The campsite is primitive, meaning that there are no outhouses or showers; both are available at the ANAM Ranger Station which we'll visit at the end of the active part of each day. At the end of the trip we'll reverse our route with a night in Santa Catalina, and the last night in Panama City, where hot showers and soft beds will be greatly appreciated.
