Here in Tumaco there is an island called Isla Morro. We spend time there walking on the beach and doing wi fi from a local hotel. Los Arcos is the arch on one end and the beach stretches to the several hotels built there for weekend tourists. You can see a local man with his pet boa and sandstone carvings.
Our boat Batwing is the only anchored boat here as you can see from the photo of El Contento. We tie up our kayak dinghy to the large rusty fishing/freight boat when we go ashore.
The pescadores fish from dugout canoes, they told us we could buy one for $300 it would 5 days more or less.





One day when we took Kiira to the vet we bought a newspaper and read an article about the discovery of a narco traffic submarine factory in one of their national parks. But then learned at the very docks near our Batwing that there were three of these captured submarines along with many other captured speed and freight boats including El Contento the boat pictured above.
