San Lorenzo Fort

The Chagres River
 San Lorenzo Fort is at the mouth of the Chagres River and only 9 KM from Shelter Bay Marina. We rode bikes to the site with Steve and Marie from S/V Saben. The old fort is cool and there are archeologists working on it.

only barrel of a gun I want to look down



Howler monkeys in the trees
Howler monkeys, green parrots and Capuchin monkeys in the trees along the ride out to the fort. This area has a beautiful tropical forest and wildlife. The howler monkeys really screech in the mornings and the evenings. We can hear them from the marina as they call out to other families of howlers to mark out their territory.
