We are in Golfito and plan to do some hiking in this tropical rain forest, rest and then sail to Panama. We are staying at Land and Sea marina and find Tim and Katie wonderful hosts. They are a wealth of information for those passing through. Being on a mooring ball is healing for us after our experience in El Salvador and Tim reassured us that the mooring is 1,000 lb with a 1/2" chain only 3 months old.

The United Fruit company opened banana plantations and exportation to this area and built up this town to support it in the1930s. Then when prices fell they left in 1985 and the community has found ways to utilize the buildings they left behind.
