Additional Information

This tour is one of the most booked tours in Panama’s Embera Village. Experience the authentic indigenous culture along the Chagres riverside. The tour begins with a pick-up from your hotel, Airbnb, or apartment. We will drive for 45 minutes to the Chagres River via the San Miguelito road. The native indigenous people will greet us at the river with a boat (canoe) to take us to the waterfall, which is a 20-minute ride. You can swim at the waterfall, so bring water clothes, shorts, and sneakers for walking in the jungle. We will spend 1.5 hours at the waterfall. Afterward, we will visit the village where the indigenous houses are located in the jungle. Families, kids, and women will welcome us with native music, clothing, and houses. They will serve us a lunch featuring the catch of the day, green plantains, and fruits. We will spend 2 hours in the village before taking the canoe back to the car and then returning to the drop-off location.

Fantastic experience - Riding down the Chagres river, hiking to the waterfall, and visiting the Embera village were all equally good experiences thanks to our tour guide, Dwayne. . He touched based with me many days before the tour and provided all the necessary information. Everything he did reflected his diligence and care. Due to the low water levels we hiked to the waterfall instead of riding the boat all the way up. The trail was somewhat difficult and muddy. Dwayne was always there to lend his hand and make sure we were safe. Not only he cared for our safety and comfort but he also treated the Embera community with utmost respect. If I return to Panama again, I’ll definitely ask Dwayne to be our tour guide.
