We were told that the Jungle Tour in San Blas was a “must do” activity. So we did. And they were right. We went with Kim & Jamie from Amazing Grace III and Eric & Kimberly from Gladiator. We found the tour location easily and started up river with Jose, our guide.
His english is good and he had a wealth of knowledge about the local ecology, telling us about the mangrove swamps, the birds, crocodiles and fish and how everything was connected. We saw many birds and Jose always put the boat where we could best see and take photos.
After several miles up river we stopped at a park that keeps rescued animals. They had MANY crocodiles, parrots, wild pigs, badgers, a bobcat and even a pair of jaguars.
Then we had a really good lunch at a restaurant on the river with a warm spring-fed swimming area.
All agreed, it was a really good day.
