Panama: A Country of Beauty, Diversity & Change

.... These shots are from a trip I & a few other student-friends took visiting our former Professor of Ecology who has an Ecotourism business in Panama (he has Fantastic prices on lodging & guiding if interested).... His beautiful house is on a hill on the Pacific side a little North of Panama City..... Many More pics to come when I have the time.........

Hi Jon... We just took a "group" (2 people) to airport today for departure, and have another "group" arriving tomorrow night. Guests this past week saw some fabulous ships transiting the Panama Canal, the rain forest, the cloud forest, the mountain community of El Valle, our nearby lava flow, our black sand beaches, the cigar factory at Penonome and a lot of hammock time with ice-cold "adult beverages". Your photos are better than mine... But come on back and update your collection. We're still saving a place for you. Rgds, Bob (your former Prof) www.VillaSanchezBarry.com

Thank you so much for the fabulous pics! I am traveling there shortly and these got me even more excited for the up coming adventure

Hi Jose; Thanks for your great comments - No problem in linking to my sites at all - all I post is for people to hopefully enjoy & learn from as I am also a high school science teacher as well as a amature 'shooter'.... The black sand beach was a private section that the owners charged a few dollars to go through their property to get to the beach on the pacific side ...I will email to your private email address the details... Thanks Again for the interest Jose JC
