Robert only had to get out one time to walk across the river to see how deep it was before I drove through it. So it was a little cold on his footsies! 
Don't let Robert pick hotels for you. The one in Pedanales was a very interesting stop. 350- Pesos for NO hot water, NO shower head, toilet seat UNATTACHED, a bed that resembles a hammock in shape and a A/C that blew cold air. At least there were no mosquito's owning me there. Man I was crying. I do have to say that it appeared to be the only hotel in town but it would have been worth a 200 mile drive to S.D. instead of staying there.
Bahia de Las Aguilas has a road that was so steep with loose rock I wimped out and didn't pass though it. I am not weak in the stomach but had these bad thoughts of never getting my Jeepeta out of there and having to walk/hitch/Gua Gua back to S.D.. Ok so I wimped out!
On the way out there we saw where people lived in Caves. Interesting.
All in all this was a great trip. I have been wanting to take this for quite a while and finally saw the inside southwest of the country that I hadn't seen before. Robert is a great traveling companion. He even rubbed my back after a hard drive! |
there is a hotel 2 blocks from the beach behind the colombianos hotel for the workers and you should have asked the cave people to take you in one of the boats they have out to the beachof las aguilas for a small price of course it's worth it they will stop where ever you want them to. I don't know who you paid the 20. to go to aguilas but i think you got ripped off.
