Inside into another culture - Visiting the Embera community was a truly enriching experience. We were captivated by their traditions, culture, and strong sense of family. The food was delicious, but what really made the trip special was our tour guide Phillippe, whose warmth and knowledge turned it into an unforgettable adventure. The tour itself was relaxed, simple, and never felt overwhelming. We appreciated the positive energy from both the guide and the group, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. It’s a unique, off-the-beaten-path adventure that we highly recommend. There are many different priced tours to the same - don’t just look for the cheapest - for the food, the locals cook what you bring so it’s worth the extra money and guide who has the respect of the Embera.

One of my most enjoyable day ! - This trip was great, learned a lot about the indigenous people their simple life and how happy they are with their lifestyle. The waterfall was a mazing and most of all my tour guide Esteban. He was phenomenal, most pleasant, knowledgeable and patient guy I have ever met. My phone fell in the river and he never stop diving down until he found it. I really can’t thank him enough. Thumbs up for Esteban Navarro. Myself and my husband will do this all over again with you being our guide. He also translated for us because we don’t speak Spanish. 😁.

Panama - Embera Indian Village and Waterfalls - This tour was absolutely amazing. The scenery was breathtaking. It was great learning about the lifestyle and the people of the Embera Indian village. Hiking to the waterfall in the rainforest will be a memory I will never forget.
