Day 8 The first thing we experience this morning is the absolute tranquility of our camp. As the sun slowly rises in front of our tents, the lagoon gets more and more turquoise blue just a couple of meters from us. Nothing will break the peace, other than the occasional bird calls as they are flying by. As soon as we have eaten we will be back on our kayaks in hope for more!! Today we will follow the route that once was navigated by pirates until we get to Laguna Mariscal and the incredible mangrove channels that will lead us to our final destination Laguna Milagros. Where we will have our last diner at camp.
