You will be introduced to one of the most important cultural groups in Panama’s history — the Embera tribe. Originally from the Darién province, the Embera migrated to the Chagres River during the construction of the Panama Canal, seeking better opportunities for their families. In addition to their traditional practices of hunting, fishing, and farming, they opened their villages to visitors as a way to share and preserve their culture. By welcoming guests, they provide a unique and meaningful experience, offering a glimpse into their way of life.
During your visit, you’ll learn about Embera traditions, music, dances, and their harmonious relationship with the surrounding rainforest. You’ll also have the chance to explore the natural beauty of the area with a short jungle hike to a nearby waterfall. This is more than a tour — it’s an authentic cultural encounter that connects you with Panama’s indigenous heritage in a respectful and immersive way. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this enriching experience.
