Darien Jungle Photo Album:
The Petroglyph
An amazing trek seven hours up the rio Sambu...then a four
hour torturous jungle hike (one way) to the stones site.
Almost killed me at 62 years of age, but I made it. An
adventure beyond the pale.
The stone's carvings have been dated at 5 thousand years of
age.
No one knows who carved this...or why....or what the symbol
significance means.
Tis an adventure of a lifetime to trek there.
It is dangerous, the Darien Jungle is UNFORGIVING...you
travel at your own risk, you may not come back.
I can get you there but it is not an inexpensive trek amigos.

Robert Hyman, the discoverer, advises the large
petroglyph image is a Cayman (type of alligator) and
this is what makes this petroglyph site so unique.
This design is unlike any others in Panama!

Spectacular waterfall within the jungle.

This one is over a meter long. They have no fear of mankind.
A snake out of the stone age !
