    Looking for Pantanal book

    The little shop attached to Pousada Piuval (lodge on the transpantaneira) had several copies available (in english) when I was there fall of 2022 (bought mine there). May be worth contacting them and checking if they still have any left (and pick it up at the start of the trip). KR, filip

    Panama Itinerary Review

    A bit of additional info regarding the Darien: You also need a permit from the government to visit the region (certainly so for the best parts such as the NP), so just showing up is a no-no. Not to mention that it requires quite a bit of logistics planning. It's certainly worth it, but doing...
