Fun experience - Great experience for families. My boys loved the entire experience. The only complaint was how busy it was at the waterfall. They really bring in a lot of canoes and the area fills up fast. The food was good and we felt very welcomed.

Wish I could do it again - First thing about a hour drive from hotels in panama city. You see some real areas of panama suburbs smaller towns and plenty of dogs along the way. You get to the river and prepare to board. If you are a person of this trip is still easy I am about 285 and getting on and off the canoe was no real issue . Please bring water shoes or be prepared for your feet and shoes to get wet. Once you get to waterfall area be careful short walk but wet and the rocks are everywhere. No one in during my trip fell . Waterfall is amazing worth the trip. Next short ride to village and prepare to be 1 with the people. Nice people nice food . Bring money for gifts.

Best Tour Ever - I had an amazing experience on the indigenous culture tour! Everything, from the warm and welcoming community to the delicious food, was incredible. I truly enjoyed learning about the culture, and having my tour guide also serve as a translator made it even more enjoyable. The hospitality was unmatched, starting with the musical entrance when we got off the canoe, followed by a beautiful group dance and impressive craftwork. The kids were absolutely adorable, adding even more charm to the experience. I highly recommend this tour—it was by far the best and the one I was most excited to see. A truly unforgettable experience! Forgot the waterfalls through the jungle was beautiful as well.

The waterfall and the... - The waterfall and the Embera Village are very nice. I booked the tour in German, but there was no German guide. Our tour guide was friendly but almost didn’t explained anything. He was more like a driver.

Canceled - Was looking forward to this tour and disappointed that when it was canceled, I did not get an email. We waited an hour for our ride, before we got tried to call and no one answered. Finally, someone called and said it was canceled because of weather. It was too late to book another tour and it in turn ruined our day learning about and enjoying Panama. Ihope my money is refunded promptly.
