Title: it skims over some things
Review: i spent three months living and traveling around panama during winter "99. I read the book afterwards. It tells the truth about san blas but isla grande and many pacific coast beaches are glossed over. Several hotels were squalid and beaches awful but no mention thereof. The mountains are beautiful, the people wonderful, hiking and exploring mountains first rate. Bocas and most other beaches best ignored. Panamanian government regulations and their administration are crude. But dammit, chiriqui, pedasi, david, chitre, sante fe are worth it.
