While I enjoy that some photos turn out exceptionally beautiful, I snap about 500 to 1000 on a typical day. It already takes a lot of time in the evening to choose the best 30% or so; many are included to help my memory of a landscape or a town, or different perspectives.

Last swim in warm waters, and — as the Golden Gate — finally biked across the Bridge of the Americas on the sidewalk. By coincidence, to see the Mirador, I had opted to ride on the northern side, which is actually against the traffic direction, but turned out to have the wider sidewalk. The South side…

Again the only way to connect between two beach areas was to bike along the sand, and cross two rivers; there is no road other than returning to the Interamerican highway.
That adventure also got rewarded by the wonderful owners of a small beach restaurant in Gorgona, who invited the Traveler to a delicious…

Today was another typical coastal touring experience in Panama: the country is a secure and friendly place, but not developed for bike touring. The weather aside — it is constantly too humid so the skin and clothes are drenched in sweat without even starting to move. Rain took half of today. The infrastructure…

Sad to leave behind the cooler mountain air and the abundant quiet wildlife of my mountain base in the Anton Valley.
The good part was the spectacular scenery up onto the crater rim, and the 30 kilometers coasting downhill to the beach.
Thanks to a late start after some more swimming with the turtles…

The mountain is part of the ancient volcanic crater rim created when the lava flowed out and the dome collapsed 1.3 million (others say it blew the top off in a massive pressure explosion 3 million) years ago. All sections of the 30 kilometer rim trail around the Anton Valley have spectacular waterfalls…

Something keeps waking me up a few minutes before sunrise every morning, so I can gratefully experience the amazing dawn and sunrise colors.
The biodiversity around is astounding.
I filled an entire memory card with videos of turtles 🐢 , squirrels, marsupials, iguanas, and birds.
One could stay sitting…

Very enjoyable loop hike on the southern rim of the volcano caldera rim that encircles the Antón valley. It is perfect to appreciate how the small town sits right in the middle of the gigantic crater, one of the biggest in the world, created when the pressure exploded the cover off the volcano 3 million…

This climb from the coastal lowlands into the Coclé hills is constant, unfortunately with some unnecessarily steep ups and downs. The hardest part is the crossing of the old rim of the extinguished volcano, starting from the suspension bridge, where even the easiest granny gear didn't help prevent the…
That was a quick hunt for a bike box 📦 , and a short stroll back to pack up in time for the Christmas dinner and fireworks party, to celebrate the happy and healthy end of a perfect month biking Panama.
Many thanks to everyone for their help, patience, food, inspiration, and great humor.
Until next…
