slight mishap

We met a Taxi drive/tour guide yesterday that seemed pretty helpful. He arranged to take us up the river from San Ignacio, where we are staying, to Medicinal Rainforest Trail. He also arranged inner tubes for us so we could float down the river back to San Ignacio. He told us it would take about 2 hrs to float down the river.
3 and a half hours after getting on the river it was getting dark with no sign of town. We got off the river and tried walking. The problem was there is absolutely no bank to walk on and jungle around us. We figured it was better to be cold on a river that was flowing the right direction than lost in the jungle at night. So we got back on the river and luckily found someone on the river bank. They pointed us to a path off the river (which we would have never seen).
Then we hitchhiked back to town (its safe).
When we returned the tubes back to the taxi driver he asked if we wanted his help the next day as well. We declined.



We didn't shoot this, but it's the same river.
