From the junction of the trail down to Naranjillo, we climb for a short distance on the same road we’ve been on since Mata de Caña before resuming our relentless descent to the coastalplain of the Pacific.
From this height of land we have extensive views of thickly forested hilltops falling away down to the valley formed by the Rio Navarro. Much of this area is privately owned natural forest that is protected by government policies protecting the natural landscape.
This dream like landscape continues for about 6 kilometers before arriving at the first structures as we approach Esquipulas.
We have now reached the coastal plain and we are immediately aware of the heat and humidity that greeted us back on day 1 in Barra de Parismina.
