Hiking 1:24:32 1.07 mi (1:19:00 / mi) +185m 51:26 / mi
ahr:82 max:159 shoes: 2015 Altra LP2.0-9 lime
Hike around part of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute observing the flora and fauna for the first part.
Later we took a Zodiac ride (~an hour and a half, 5.335 mi) along the shores of Barro Colorado Island, created when Gatún Lake was flooded (three years to fill it) after the dam was built. Dams along the canal provide hydroelectricity to run the lock equipment.
Toucans were heard but not seen, my only disappointment on this trip.

First sections of the Panama Canal from the Pacific side including locks at Miraflores and Pedro Miguel, rising a total of 85', they said.
What's truly amazing is that besides a bit of maintenance the locks and canal sides are the original from over 100 years ago (opened in August of 1915). The "mules"/locomotives used to keep ships centered in the locks are on their third generation (first ones were made by GE, second generation and the current ones are by Mitsubishi).

Kayaking ("destination kayak" along mangrove forests to a cantina) in the Golfito part of Golfo Dulce, Costa Rica.
In the morning we visited Casa Orquideas, a tropical botanical garden owned by a couple who originally hailed from New Hampshire.
Yesterday we visited two local farms, one that grows/prunes palm trees for hearts of palm in thr morning, and another where they grow cacao plants as well as many others (vanilla, black pepper, lemon, white pineapple, etc.), to avoid a monoculture. Lunch was on the beach at Playa Blanca (prepared by chefs from the ship), and we had snacks at the Jacana ranch in the morning and at the cacao farm, Finca Cabo, in the afternoon.
