Wiki seemed somewhat helpful - me, I'd head for the artistic neighborhood, Las Penas. Or find an interesting restaurant..
Are you on a tour or doing this by yourselves? Staying in the port?
Of course I no nothing, just interested.

We'll have only enough time to see one highlight and maybe dinner. Someone told me that there is a point where the water runs in two different directions but I can't find it on the web.

I don't have the finacial means to be doing a lot of unique travel but this offer fell into my lap. My friend works for this cruise line company and is looking for a new job. The company extended a 2 for 1 pricing for family and friends. So I jumped on it and am taking my 13 year old son. His dad agreed to help me pay for my sons portion.

no nothing..... now there's a typo!

Well, I look forward to hearing about it..

My wife and I went there. There´s a big long touristy "malecon" along the riverbank. There is even an IMAX theatre on it. It a safe place to walk and kind of photogenic. If you were really in to nature you might go out to the botanical garden. Lots of orchids.
