You will love this experience with this operator! - This was an amazing day getting to tour the Embera Village and learning about the tradition and culture! My guide Ruben was AMAZING! He was so warm and knowledgeable! I was travelling solo but Ruben truly made me feel like I was with a long time friend. There was a girl in our group who didn't want to get her sneakers dirty so Ruben offered to give her his shoes so she didn't have to worry about it-he really wants you to enjoy the experience and did as much as he could to ensure this! He truly has a heart of gold! He was so funny and you could tell people in the village genuinely love and respect him! So much smiles and laughter as we arrived! Book this trip, you will love the experience and the guides are amazing!

5 Star Service and Experience! - This tour was worth the money! Esteban immediately introduced himself to me after booking. Arrived on time. The waterfall was breathtaking and the indigenous village tour was awesome as well. I left the hotel at 8 am and was back around 3 pm. Esteban made himself available as my personal concierge. If I visit Panama again I will definitely contact him to see which tours are being offered.

The best tour Ever! - AMAZING EXPERIENCE! WORTH IT!
The guides have excellent customer service and are very knowledgeable. The Indigenous are so friendly and have a paradise as home.
The river is also great to swim. Is very important to use water shoes! They start picking up at 8am and you are back to the hotel at 3pm.
