Hankau, James 1975 Journal Panama - Cerro Panda area Audubon Society Cabin along road to Cerro Punta, Nueva Secja, Chiriqui Province, Panama 11 August 10 PM - Jim Lynch and I left Boquete this morning at around 10 AM and drove essentially essentially straight through to Cerro Punta. We did stop in David first to repair a flat tire, and then to inquire about the possibility of renting a "Land Rover" or other type 4-wheel drive vehicle. We had no luck, as neither the car rental agency at the David airport (rents only Datsuns) nor the Toyota agency were able to rent 4-wheel drive vehicles. Upon reaching El Volcan de Hato we continued NE to Cerro Punta. While inquiring about the location of the Audubon cabin we discovered that this village has numerous homes owned by Americans living in the Canal Zone who retreat here to the cooler weather. We spoke to a man named Carl Chapman who owns a lease here. He, in turn, referred us to a German named Kurt Hammerly who has lived in this area for 50 years and owns a pension in the nearby town of Bambito. We spoke with Kurt and he indicated the various trails with which we may reach Boquete, the Continental Divide, and points to the northwest as well as suggesting a man named Lola Gongoley who we should see
