Is There a Hole in the Boat?: Tales of Travel in Panama without a Car

Join travel writer Darrin DuFord as he hikes, bribes, and barters his way across Panama, an overlooked filament of the tropics. Sampling such local delicacies as barbecued jungle rodent and fermented corn homebrew, DuFord encounters a land where the machete can slash through just about anything--except the nation's spirit. Includes detailed map.
