The government is paving the way up Colon province's Costa Abajo, but west of Rio Indio it's still a dirt road, in many places during this season of the year a place you shouldn't attempt to travel unless you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, preferably with a winch.


The blacktop will surely bring some of Panama's real estate boom to the Costa Abajo



Mireya's bridge over the Rio Indio didn't last two rainy
seasons, but temporary repairs have been improvised



Not far before the road ends at Miguel de La Borda, they put you through some
tests of both driving skills and the qualities of the vehicles in which you travel



The road gets so bad you have to take a detour
along the beach, fording a small stream on the way
