Description:

Meet the indigenous Embera tribe on this journey into the heart of native Panamanian culture. Take a canoe ride upriver to the Embera’s remote jungle village to explore the stories, dances, and crafts of this vibrant community.

After being picked up from your hotel, leave the city behind and ride through the picturesque countryside until you reach the banks of the river that winds through the Chagres National park. Meet members of the Embera tribe, who help you step into a sturdy dugout piragua canoe. Ride upriver for an hour, keeping your eyes peeled for toucans, sloths, and monkeys in the trees, until you arrive at the remote village of the Embera people.

Experience the rich culture of the Embera tribe as you listen to stories, watch traditional dances, and enjoy a traditional meal of fried fish or chicken and patacones, fried plantains. Marvel at the craftsmanship of baskets woven from natural fibers and figures carved from cocobolo wood. Learn about the lifestyle of the Embera, which has remained largely unchanged for centuries, and participate in a ceremonial tradition by getting a temporary tattoo with ink made from fruit juice.

Follow one of the elders through the jungle to learn about various medicinal plants, and make your way to a cascading waterfall in the rainforest where you can take a refreshing dip before returning to your hotel.
