Distances are in nautical miles.
One nautical mile is 1.853 kms or 1.151 statute miles. After our documentary work with the Mayan people of Guatemala in November 2000, we took our winter break to work on the website. J-Philippe spent some of that time in South America. Look for his account of crossing the Amazon. We return to paddle the rest of Costa Rica and the first part of the Panama coast in May 2001 and September 2001 respectively.
