ITINERARY

​

The Embera are indigenous people who live near the Chagres River.  The women wear brightly colored cloth wrapped at the waist as a skirt. The adults paint their bodies with a black dye made from Genipa Americana, the berry of a species of the Genipa tree.

​

Your adventure will begin when one of our expert guides will pick you up at your city hotel,  Beach resort or Colon Port around 7:30 am or 8:00 am. We will drive for about an hour along the canal and Soberania National park while your guide will share interesting information about Panama and prepare you for your visit with the Emberá people. 

​

Ride a canoe up the Chagres River, walk to a jungle waterfall (depending on weather conditions), and visit a traditional Embera village on a full-day trip from Panama City. Learn about traditional food, culture, and dances on this 7-hour tour, which includes pickup and drop-off at your Panama City hotel. Sit down and watch a dance that depicts Embera’s relationship with the natural world. Before departing the village, shop for traditional handicrafts and souvenirs made by local people.

​

Note: your transporation from the hotel is totally private, we may merge with other people on the boat and in the community. Your guide will always be with you.
