The must have tour in Panama - We had the best time on our tour! Our tour guide, Esteban, was incredible—so much fun, and full of cool ideas. We kicked off our adventure on a boat controlled by two indians feom Embera tribe. when we arrived, we were welcomed with a beautiful dance. We tried some delicious tropical fruits and explored their unique, handmade souvenirs. The lunch was amazing, decorated with leaves and flowers, and getting a traditional ink tattoo was such a cool experience. Swimming in the crystal-clear river was the highlight of our day. Everyone in the tribe was incredibly friendly, and we took great photos with them. We wrapped up our amazing journey back in Panama City, totally happy with our unforgettable experience. I totally recommend this tour if you're looking for a genuinely fun and memorable day!

Incredible immersion in indigenous culture - A truly incredible excursion. Our guide Esteban is extremely kind and kind. He is very attentive to our needs and answers all our questions in 3 languages. French, English and Spanish. I haven't found a better Guide in Panama. The excursion is just incredible with the rowboat ride then the waterfall and the little swim that goes with it. Then the village of Embera which will give you a real immersion in the indigenous culture. This is definitely a must-do for your trip to Panama. Thank you Esteban for everyone.

Amazing must-do! - Amazing must-do!
It was a unique and magical day in emotions, from start to finish Estaban amazed us with kindness and benevolence, without forgetting that we did it with a 1 year old baby, the canoe, waterfall , and the native village, the fish was succulent, the fruit impossible fresher and sweeter!
Everything was perfect !
5 stars seem like little to me for this day engraved forever in our lives.
Thank you Esteban

A true look into the Panamanian indigenous villagers' lives.. . - We totally enjoyed our Enberra Village tour today with our family. Esteban was a professional, knowledgeable, energetic and went beyond his call of duty. The programs of the tour was very rich which included a ride on the river boat, walking through the jungle to the falls through up and down hills, some of which were very easy while the others quite challenging to me, meeting the indigenous people, having a very sumptuous homemade meal with fresh fruits and juices, taking pictures freely with the indigenous people. Watching a dance performed by the indigenous people in their colorful indigenous costumes was a highlight of the tour.

Great!!! - Getting to know the Emberá Tribe has been a fascinating experience. Every step has been worth it, walking in the river for more than 30 minutes observing nature and then reaching a waterfall. And that's not all!!! Esteban our guide is a polyglot, he enjoyed every word, Spanish, English, French and even Emberá, imagine! Walking with Fue has been an experience that has taken my phone away from me and carried it with me in my memory. When we arrived at the community with the tribe, they welcomed us with dances and songs. I brought some waba souvenirs for my family (handicrafts). Hey Esteban guide tour, the best thing was swimming with the noses in the river haha! They look like fish in water, and that jump from the small cliff, fascinating! I recommend this tour 100% with Esteban, greetings from Tijuana, Mexico 🇲🇽
