Hi,
We (2 persons) are arriving at Panama City on the 11-Jan, I read that there´s the possibility that you can pick us up and drive, is this true? Also would like to know if you have space available for us for approximately 2-3 days (so that would be 11, 12, & 13th of January approximately)? And what type of accommodation you offer (private/dorm) and the price.
I would appreciate a quick response since we´ll be travelling soon.
Thanks!
Hello,
We would like to book for May 15-18, 2011 for 2 people. We would also need transportation by 4×4 for the way up. Do you have availability? Also, what is the price per night? Thanks!
Hello Lindsey, we will be sending you an email. Right now the road to Carti is closed since there was heaving flooding in the area. We are waiting for the Kuna Congress to let us know when the road is going to be open again. It was supposed to be the 15 of March and we are almost in April. Hopefully it will be ready by the time you come, but I just wanted to let you know that there is a possibility that you might have to go by plane, which is obviously a higher cost than by road.
Hello,
We would like to book for May 24th to 27th for 2 people. Do you have availability? I also sent you an email, and would love to hear back from you. Thanks!!!
Hello Dan, yes we received your email. You should have gotten a reply. We look forward to assisting you!
