Tour details
7:30 - Departing from Panama City.
We will go to the port of Corotú, where the Embera awaits us with their piragua. We will sail on the Chagres River until we reach the “Quebrada Bonita” waterfall. There we will spend 1 hour enjoying the waterfall. Depending on the rainfall and the level of the river, the walk to reach the waterfall can vary between 5-15 minutes.
Then we will take the piragua again that will take us to our main destination: the town of Embera Drua. We will stay approximately 4 hours in the village, during which we will have a welcome speech, a presentation of the Embera people and their traditions, a lunch prepared by the Embera, a traditional dance demonstration and free time to walk through the village, talk with the Embera, and if you wish you can buy traditional crafts and make ephemeral tattoos with vegetable ink. After the activities, we will take the piragua back to the port, offering you the last views of the Chagres River, as well as its flora and fauna.
