We probably had the worst luck on this trip. Boat was delayed by weather, everybody got sick in the rough seas and the boat kept breaking down due to water in the fuel. It got to the point...

Acla

Acla was a Spanish colonial town founded by order of the Governor of Castilla de Oro, Pedrarias Dávila, in 1515. It was located on the central coastline of the modern-day Kuna Yala, to the northeast of Panamá. The town's name means bones of men in the indigenous language. The name comes from the large number of bones strewn about the nearby plains, which supposedly came from the conflicts between two indigenous brothers who fought to become chiefs of the region.
