	About Chiriqui River Rafting (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Serving as the vital land bridge uniting the Americas, and joining two oceans with its famous waterway, Panama has evolved to host a splendid diversity of plant, animal, geography and culture that astounds the nature lover, beckons the scientist, and challenges the adventurer.
