The Morning the Mangroves Woke Up

Carlos spends his third day in Río San Juan chasing the town's working rhythm: dawn at the fish market, a coffee at a local spot, the Gri-Gri lagoon's quiet side, and a long conversation about what the new airport will change. Plus the real cost of a day here, in pesos and dollars. ☕ Enjoying the show?
