Punta del Muerto

We were imagining a relaxing day trip to the Carribean islands with snorkeling and beach time, but it became a real adventure:

The boat trip started at Playa Blanca on island Barú, which is packed with locals and toursists at the same time. We were happy finally getting on the boat and making our way to Isla Grande, our snorkeling stop. However, the boat ride found an early end when the police boat stopped us and our boat turned out to be illegal... we had to turn around.

The tour guys tried hard to find a new boat, but it was impossible... Eventually, they checked for the police boat that was quite far away already... And accelerated the boat away from the beach. So somehow, we were on a boat escaping from the police and made our way to 'party island' (Isla Chólon).

That was the next surprise, a beach packed with yachts, each playing their own loud music, people celebrating in the water and suddenly we were part of them.

In the end, the trip turned out quite surprising, entertaining and much better than expexted😅Read more
