[News Boquete] Bus trip to Nancito Petroglyph Park and Las Lajas

Bus Trip to Nancito Petroglyph Park and then to Las Lajas for
Swimming and Lunch.

Nancito is an hour and a half drive from the City of David It is called by the local Indians "the narrow neck of land" because the mountain of Nancito is very close to the sea. The Nancito beach is a two minute walk from the edge of the mountain and the Interamericana highway separates the mountain from the sea. When driving to Nancito the Interamericana highway reduces to only two lanes because it is so tight between the solid land, the sea and the Nancito Mountain. On the entry into the Nancito Mountain are normally a couple of huts made by the local indigenous Indians to sell their handmade necklaces and bags. As you drive up the top of the Nancito Mountain you will see a spectacular view of the Pacific Ocean and then you will enter the Nancito town, there you will arrive to the Nancito Archaeological Museum. In this Archaeological site are ancient maps of Petroglyphs on the rocks that date back 600 BC.

We have arranged for UNACHI archeology professor Luz Graciela to lead an expedition to this secret little spot in Panama. We will use the UNACHI bus which will leave from Plaza Terronel (El Rey and Do It Center) on Saturday, April 6 at 8 AM. We can carpool to Plaza Terronel and leave the cars there.  We will stop at the little town of San Juan to have a quick breakfast and go to the bathroom.

After getting a tour of Nancito (and perhaps having the local children serenade us), we head back into the bus for the short hop to the white sand beaches of Las Lajas.

We are hoping to arrange a menu in advance with Las Lajas Beach Resort and perhaps to be able to use their pool. In any case, the beach is just a few meters from the Resort.

The bus will return to Plaza Terronel about 4 PM.

There are 29 seats available to the first people who sign up and pay at the B4B spot at the bar at the Tuesday BCP market. The cost is $12 per person and includes the bus with gas, the driver, and admission into the museum. Meals are at your own expense.

Any profit made from this trip will benefit Bid 4 Boquete.

Come by the BCP Market this Tuesday between 9:15 and 11:45 to sign up and pay. You cannot reserve without a payment.
This promises to be a lot of fun.
