The Sticky Waterfalls are a must-visit place near Chiang Mai. Tours are offered as a half-day trips, or a full-day, combined with a hike, or an elephant farm visit. Definitely worth the trip. Very refreshing. No place to swim, but a great escape from the heat. To see the “Do not climb” sign, you have to climb to it.

The anchorage is Pristine, Remote, Biodiverse, Tropical - Unspoiled, Clear Isla Escudo de Veraguas, like many parts of the New World, was known to indigenous peoples long before Europeans arrived. The island was later "re-discovered" by Europeans during the era of exploration While there is no specific record pinpointing the exact European explorer who first set foot on Isla Escudo de Veraguas, it is likely that the island was noted by Spanish explorers who were mapping the Caribbean coast of Central America. Notably, Christopher Columbus, on his fourth and final voyage to the Americas in 1502, explored the Bocas del Toro archipelago, which includes Isla Escudo de Veraguas. However, detailed records of his voyages primarily focus on larger islands and significant landmarks. Isla Escudo de Veraguas is a hidden gem off the coast of Panama, known for its pristine beauty, remote location, and rich biodiversity. This island, part of the Bocas del Toro archipelago, is a relatively untouched paradise, offering a unique and captivating experience for those fortunate enough to visit. Pristine Beauty One of the most striking features of Isla Escudo de Veraguas is its unspoiled natural beauty. The island is surrounded by crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, and lush tropical vegetation. The vibrant colors of the coral reefs and the diverse marine life make it a paradise for snorkelers and divers. The island’s interior is equally stunning, with dense rainforests and mangroves teeming with wildlife. The tranquility and untouched nature of the island provide a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Remote Location Isla Escudo de Veraguas is located approximately 20 miles off the coast of the mainland, making it one of the more remote islands in Panama. This remoteness is both a blessing and a challenge. It has helped preserve the island’s natural beauty and biodiversity, as it is not overrun by tourists. However, reaching the island requires careful planning and a sense of adventure. Most visitors access the island by boat from the nearby town of Almirante or through organized tours from Bocas del Toro. The journey to the island is part of the adventure, offering breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea. Rich Biodiversity The island is a biodiversity hotspot, home to many endemic species found nowhere else in the world. The marine ecosystem around Isla Escudo de Veraguas is incredibly rich, with vibrant coral reefs that host a plethora of fish, sea turtles, and other marine creatures. On land, the island is home to several unique species, including the critically endangered pygmy three-toed sloth, which is found only on this island. Birdwatchers will also be delighted by the variety of avian species that inhabit the island, including colorful parrots and toucans. Tropical Climate The island’s tropical climate is characterized by warm temperatures and high humidity year-round, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a tropical getaway. The best time to visit is during the dry season, from December to April, when the weather is more predictable and the seas are calmer. However, even during the rainy season, the island’s lush greenery and vibrant wildlife make it a worthwhile destination. Unspoiled Paradise One of the most appealing aspects of Isla Escudo de Veraguas is its unspoiled nature. Unlike many other tropical destinations, the island has not been developed for mass tourism. There are no hotels, resorts, or commercial establishments on the island, allowing visitors to experience its natural beauty in a truly authentic way. This lack of development also means that visitors need to be self-sufficient, bringing their own supplies and camping equipment if they plan to stay overnight. Conservation Efforts The pristine nature of Isla Escudo de Veraguas is not accidental; it is the result of ongoing conservation efforts. Local and international organizations are working to protect the island’s unique ecosystems and species. Visitors are encouraged to respect the island’s natural environment by minimizing their impact, practicing responsible tourism, and supporting conservation initiatives. In conclusion, Isla Escudo de Veraguas is a hidden paradise that offers a rare opportunity to experience an untouched tropical environment. Its pristine beauty, remote location, rich biodiversity, and unspoiled nature make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Whether exploring its vibrant coral reefs, spotting unique wildlife, or simply enjoying the serenity of its beaches, visitors to Isla Escudo de Veraguas will undoubtedly leave with unforgettable memories of this extraordinary island.

Mavi Vatan’a Sahip Çıkalım! Ülkemizin karasuları ve limanları arasında deniz taşımacılığı haklarını yabancıların kontrolünden kurtararak, bu hakları yalnızca Türk gemi ve vatandaşlarına tanıyan Kabotaj Kanunu'nun 94. yıl dönümü her yıl olduğu gibi bu yıl da 1 Temmuz günü Vira Yatçılık Üyeleri ile Haliç’te kutladık. Bu yıl ki sloganımız Mavi Vatan’a sahip çıkalım! Normalleşme süresince; Yelken Yapmayan Kalmasın! Aslında VİRA için kutlamalar bir ay öncesinde başladı. COVID-19 pandemi süreci sakinleşip normalleşme dönemi başladığında denize ve denizciliğe duyurlan ilginin artması kaçınılmazdı. Bu dönemde VİRA olarak bizim de çorbada bir tuzumuz olsun istedik ve 1 Temmuz Kabotaj Bayramı şerefine “Yelken Yapmayan Kimse Kalmasın” mottosuyla; Ücretsiz Yelken Seyirleri kampanyamızı başlattık. Bu dönemde 20 gün boyunca 200’den fazla kişiyi hiçbir ücret talep etmeden Kalamış’ta ve Haliç’te yelkenle tanıştırdık. Bu projede emeği geçen tüm VİRA ekibine teşekkürlerimizi sunuyoruz 1 Temmuz, Denizcilerin Bayramı! Sıra 1 Temmuz günü gelenekselleşen Haliç kortejimize geldi. 1 Temmuz gününe santralistanbul’daki tesisimizi bayraklar ve flamalarla süsleyerek başladık. Ardından sıra teknelerimize geldi. VİRA Ekibi’nin yapmaktan en keyif aldığı birinci konu yelkense ikincisi kesinlikle tekneleri süslemektir. Bizi tanıyan herkes bunu bilir☺️ Kortej için ekibimiz hazırlıklarını tamamlarken üyelerimiz de tesisimize gelmeye başladı. Marşlar ve dalgalanan bayraklarla akşama hazırlanan üyelerimiz 18.30’da kortej için denize çıkmaya başladı. Kürek kulübümüz Vira Kürek, İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi Yelken Kulübü, Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi Yelken Kulübü ve Marmara Üniversitesi Yelken Kulübü yönetimlerinin de katılımıyla tek sıra olan yelken ve kürek teknelerimiz kortejimize santralistanbul VİRA Haliç’ten başladı. Haliç boyunca tek sıra halinde seyir yapan teknelerimiz kıyıdaki vatandaşlardan da büyük alkış aldı. Sırasıyla santralistanbul, Miniaturk, Haliç Kongre Merkezi, Pierre Loti, Eyüpsultan, Koç Müzesi, Tersane İstanbul açığından geçerek kıyıdaki vatandaşları selamlayan kortejimiz Unkapanı köprüsünden dönüşe başladı. Dönüş yolunda İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi dronu tarafından görüntülendiğinden habersiz olan üyelerimiz; akşam saatlerinde Belediye Başkanı Sayın Ekrem İmamoğlu’nun sosyal medya hesaplarından yaptığı paylaşım ile Haliç Kongre Merkezi açığında güzel bir manzara oluşturduğumuzu da gururla görmüş oldu. Mavi Vatan! Her yıl olduğu gibi bu yıl da Türk denizcilerinin özgürlük gününü büyük bir gururla kutladık. Son söz olarak; Bayramımız kutlu olsun, Mavi Vatan’a sahip çıkalım… Saygılarımızla, Vira Yatçılık www.virayatcilik.com
