Original Toronto Star caption: A dugout canoe trip up the Bayano River starts the tourists' trip into the Darien jungle; the place where Keats mistakenly placed stout Cortez when with eagle eyes he star'd at the Pacific. It was actually Balboa who penetrated the forest to find the western ocean and; incidentally; to touch off Spanish enslavement of the Choco; a period of hardship that is still recalled in Indian legend. Tourist trips to the interior start up at $87.50.
