After about 9 hours of hiking 14 miles, we arrived at our 2nd campsite in the city of La Playa. Swarms of mosquitos attacked us despite using insect repellant. We soaked our feet in the freezing water before dinner.
The visor was not enough protection since my head got sunburned. By this time, Dan's toenails were starting to blacken.
Día 6 (Trek Day 3): The decision was made the day before that Dan and Miguel would hike the first half of the day without me. Miguel wanted to take Dan on an intense 8-mile hike that strayed from the usual trail. Miguel promised incredible views. By this time I was exhausted and was ok with taking half a day off so that they could go at a faster pace. I helped Dante clean up camp and took a bus with him to the start of the next leg.
