Tour Description

Embera Indigenous Village Visit

What to expect

A unique experience where you can step back in time visiting one of the Emberá communities who still live in traditional villages deep in the rainforest of Panama, along the Chagres River. The Emberá people are proud to share their culture and traditions with visitors. The day begins with hotel pick-up to head to the Chagres National Park Pier, where you will embark on a motored canoe ride down the main water tributary of the famous Panama Canal's Gatun Lake. Upon arrival, you will be received with a traditional greeting with music and a presentation about the Emberá culture, including dances, crafts, and traditions. Lunch is prepared by the indigenous community and consists of fish wrapped in plantain leaves with patacones (fried plantains). Before returning to the pier, you will have spare time to buy traditional crafts, get a temporary Emberá tattoo, or simply walk around the village.
