PRIVATE MONKEY ISLAND & EMBERA TRIBE TOUR WITH WATERFALL WALK
ITINERARY
Your adventure will begin when one of our expert guides will collect you from your city hotel. We will drive for about an hour along the Soberania National Park to the Gamboa Dock, Hop aboard a high-speed motorboat, and marvel at the breathtaking flora and fauna surrounding Gatun Lake.
The lake is one of the sets of locks in the Panama Canal, on the Pacific side. There, you will have an ecological experience in the region, where you can sail by the lake and see animals and the surrounding forest. Enjoy stops at Monkey Island, home to several species of monkeys native to Central America. Monkey Island boasts an incredible amount of wildlife. Look for capuchin monkeys, Geoffroy's tamarin and howler, and other species.
We can usually see huge cargo ships navigating inside the Panama Canal.
After this, we will drive for about 45 minutes to the next adventure inside the Changres River.
Ride a canoe up the Chagres River, walk in the rainforest (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.
The Embera tribe originates from the Darien region in Panama and the Choco region of Colombia. They have lived in this area for centuries, long before the first Spanish explorer set foot in the new world.
Before departing the village, shop for traditional handicrafts and souvenirs made by the local people. Head back down the river by canoe, and board the vehicle for the return trip to Panama City.
The 35-40 minute hike to the waterfall involves walking on a slippery jungle path with larger rocks that travelers need to climb.
