Drago Archaeological Project
Panama
Summer 2010
Accommodations
Students will live in a large house at Boca del Drago on the northwest corner of Isla Colón, in Caribbean northwest Panama's picturesque Bocas del Toro archipelago. The house is located 30 m from palm shaded white sand beaches and a short walk from mature triple canopy jungle.
UCLA Summer Sessions reserves the right to change the housing location. Should this become necessary, we will arrange comparable accommodations elsewhere.
Meals
Three hot meals will be provided each day. All meals will be served in the Restaurante Yarisnori Dining area. A rotating crew of 2-3 students will aid the kitchen staff in post-dinner clean-up.
Please let us know when you apply for this program if you have special dietary needs, as well as any medical or physical conditions. We will advise you accordingly.
Excursions
Several field trips will be made to significant local archaeological and ecological sites on Isla Colon including coral reefs, mangroves, jungle, swamps and caves. We will also visit neighboring islands and archaological site of Cerro Brujo.
This program has limited free time for independent sightseeing. Please consult with the faculty about independent travel during the program.
