Golfo Dulce by Private Boat

One of the few tropical fjords on earth, at the hour the water goes still.

01

The idea

The gulf is deep, protected and unusually calm, which is why life concentrates in it. Out early with the engine off, the coastline reads as it must have for centuries: forest to the waterline and nothing built in between.
