Pure PJ: Road block on Inter-American Highway by Indigenous people as a protest against the government. Read more on this news article: http://emergingterrains.com/investmentnews/panama/tourist-perspective-road-closure-traps-travelers-in-panama/ The road has been blocked for already 4 days yesterday, but because we didn't listen to the news, we were actually traveling in that direction and had to stop and go back to where we came from :) First we thought it was just a tree that had fallen and they were trying to remove it LOL. By asking a policeman we found out the reality - those buses full of tourists and many others had to turn around as well.... The government offered a free flight to Panama City from the nearest airport to the "Gringo's". Needless to mention about how crowded the airport was ... * The road is still blocked with similar cut trees over the length of many villages. The government is negotiating with the indigenous people and nobody knows how long this will take.
