February brought us to explore the area around the Dam at la Fortuna which is on the road between Chiriqui and Changinola.  This road crosses the continental divide of the Talamanca Mountains.  There are some beautiful views along that road.

A small falls that makes it's way into the lake.

A statue of a hand grasping a lightning bolt and there is a rainbow in the background.  The dam generates electricity for Union Fenosa, the electric company.

This is the dam. the area in the foreground to the left is the overflow spillway.
