Fabuleux séjour, Fantastique expérience chez les indiens Wonans.
Tout était si vrai,si fort et si bien organisé ...
que l'on a du mal a trouver les mots qu'il faut, pour dire tout ce que l'on a ressenti au fond de son coeur....

Merci à toute l'équipe d' Atlapac

je t'envoie directement par email mon témoignage que j'ai rédigé sous forme de poème

ANGEL DU DARIEN

TOI, qui m'a mené jusqu'aux indiens, découvrir cette foret si pure, ces fleuves tranquilles,le calme et la gentillesse de nos hotes qui nous ont reçu avec cet amour et cette amitié que nous recherchons tous.
Ton expérience est une grande réussite dans notre vie et nous laisse assoiffés d'un nouveau départ dans ce lieu mystique qui est notre DARIEN .
Notre DARIEN, chéri, sauvage et protecteur à la fois .
Seul DIEU et TOI peuvent réaliser ce qui, du reve est devenu une réalité si proche du merveilleux.

Recois ma profonde amitié ....

"Se sufre mucho en ese viaje, pero cuando uno admira la naturaleza y le gusta la selva tropical uno la pasa cool. La expedicion dura unas semanas y cada quien se relaja a su modo, es como si todos trabajaran en equipo. Es una aventura diferente, una experiencia para toda la vida."

"It was an unforgettable experience and I never imagined it to be this way. It made me open my eyes and really understand why many people work hard in the conservation effort."

"The expedition has it's ups and downs, you see beautiful scenery, rivers, animals, and the natives in their own way of life. It's an exciting experience and I enjoyed every moment of it, but then again, mosquitoes, bugs and other insects are a big nuisance.
Sometimes, missing modern commodities like bed, bathroom and cold drinks even made me wonder what I was doing there, but overall it was a wonderful experience and once I get back to my normal life, I couldn't wait to go back to the jungle!!!"

All in all, going on an expedition through the Darien Gap is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We have been fortunate and have had the opportunity more than once. We have been wet, we've been cold, we've been hot, and we've suffered dehydration.
We've laughed, we've cried, we've been frustrated, and when completely done with the expedition we were ready to do it again!

We have found that the only absolutely necessary qualifications one needs to cross the Darien Gap are determination, and patience! The people, the flora, fauna, and the remoteness are to be experienced. It may be different, it can be challenging, but it will be rewarding! The Darien Gap is there today, and will be there tomorrow. We understand that there are renewed talks between Panama and Colombia to complete the Pan-American Highway. However, there are many roadblocks in the tortuous path: politics, agriculture, finances, and environment, to mention just a few. But who can say what the future holds? Will it ever be completed in our lifetime? Somehow we have our doubts.
