A couple of years ago, I was dropping a client and her young daughter off at her house after a legal consult. The mother was holding the baby in the back seat of the car. I said "que niña bonita" ("what a beautiful baby.") The client looked at me and smiled and said "se nació en la selva" ("she was born in the jungle.") She'd given birth in the Darién.
Isn't there a way (with some dinero...of course) to pay for a small boat to take you around the 60 miles or so of jungle?
Yes, there is. But like you say, it's a question of money which most people don't have.

Thanks for sharing that, Sam.
