What an incredible day! - I did a private tour with Aura to one of the Embera villages and a hike and swim at the waterfall. Even though I travel all the time, this was one of the top experiences for me. Aura is a fantastic guide who is thoughtful, friendly, and speaks perfect English. The people we’ve met on this tour are incredibly kind and happy to share their culture with the visitors. And the waterfall was so memorable. Don’t miss this tour while in Panama!!

Fantastic experience with Tours by Locals! - Aura was magnificent! She was informative, professional and accommodated me by stopping at a market for bagels. I wanted a decent Brewery with good local beers and we were able to squeeze that in the itinerary. She translated to English the indigenous people's explanation of their craft work and brought in some fantastic fruit to share with our lunch. If I come back to Panama, I'll certainly give her a call! Thanks Aura!

Learn about tribes in the Panama jungle - Nice experience getting to know the Tusipono tribe in Embera. We have seen how they live in their homes and the relationship between the inhabitants. We ate fish from the Chagres River, caught by them and witnessed their dances. Our driver Alfredo was very explanatory and responded with great detail to every question. Also important is a very good driver, because to go there you have to cross several busy points.
