ITINERARY: Rio San Cristoal to Zoquipan

This boat trip is 12 miles up the San Cristobal estuary. Your destination is the shallow lagoon, Zoquipan, (an Aztec word from the Najuatl language, meaning "in the mud"). Here you can listen to the orchestra of hundreds of wading birds. This estuary system is less visited, so you will see numerous giant crocodiles on the banks, unlike any other tour in San Blas. You will also see other reptiles and numerous birds among the mangroves including Roseate Spoonbills. 4-5 hours.
