ABOUT TUK-TUKS, NEGOTIATIONS AND OTHER ISSUES

Guapi is a place that sounds, not only because of the native and traditional musicians that inhabit the town and are so representative of Pacific culture, but also because all the stores have music like discos and the places that sell drinks seem to be active 24/7. It was something that to really understand I had to know firsthand.
