We Panamanians grew up eating “duros” as kids to cool off from the heat. You can make duros at home from freezing any kind of juice or even soda inside a small cup and once frozen you eat it like a slurpee
Great video as usual. LOVED the rock! Looks very ancient. Paying for the car is common in Latin America, but it's a tricky thing. I always pay because you never really know who the people asking for the money are. If you don't pay, they may scratch your car. My guess is that Panama is safe all around, but if you go to Brazil, do pay. Fixing your paint job costs more than whatever amount they're asking.
Technically hiking trails and access to waterfalls are supposed to be free by law, so I am surprised they are getting away with charging for entry. There are free entrances to hiking trails in El Valle. One of the easiest to reach by foot is Cerro Cara Iguana, and that connects with the other trails around the town.
I’m with your hubby on the hitting us up for two bucks to watch a car that can’t move unless you steal it. We were there last May and I stopped that immediately. I understand the need, but dang we aren’t made of money.
Those kids and not so young kids charge everyone, including Panamanians for watching the car, people are sick of it and complain about them all the time.
Such a lovely and picturesque place my friend. Absolutely majestic looking trail! Love it!
Duros: frozen fruit puree in a small plastic bag. Sometimes it may just be frozen fruit flavored water. Great for cooling off.

Nice video I love el valle. Good job Brian for not to pay for watching your car.
Duros is like homemade popsicles
A POPSICLE! Oh wow- I totally would have stopped if I had known that! Next time. Thank you!

Unbelievable! I have 5 acres in the area and had no idea of all that
Fill a paper cup with any beverage, freeze it, you've got a duro.

🇵🇦🌏...Duro -Ice
Ah! Thank you! How is that different from hielo?
Duro is a frozen drink, mainly fruit.
So happy your husband didn't pay the gringo tax! Kudos!
Duros are frozen fruit treats
Hi guys so true if that was in USA it would be graffiti nice video
Duros are homemade Popsicles...
Was your car ok once you got back? Loved the video. Well done.
Perfectly fine! 🙂

"Se vende duros" or "we sell frozen juice"😂😂 In the middle of a hiking trail??? Maybe in the dry season 🤷🏻♀️
This was July.
@@IGoPanama Wow!!😅
“Young kids, just trying to make a buck; can’t blame them.” Just curious if you share the same feelings when your car is broken into back home? 😂
Just because someone asks for a couple of bucks to watch my car doesn't mean they are going to break into it.
