Panama: The Full Rainforest Experience

Embark on a thrilling adventure in Panama with a blend of kayaking and hiking in the stunning rainforest of Chagres National Park. Swim in a natural waterfall, enjoy a traditional lunch with the Embera tribe.

Begin your adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in downtown Panama City or Casco Viejo. Embera Community entry tax (USD $30 per person) should be paid cash to the guide upon pick up.
After a scenic 50-minute van ride, find yourself at the beautiful shores of the Chagres River, ready to embark on an exciting journey. A canoe will be waiting to take you to a higher point for your kayaking adventure. As you glide along the river, the gentle stream will assist you. This experience is perfectly safe for people without kayaking experience or non swimmers.

Along the way, pause for a thrilling 20-minute hike through the lush rainforest, leading to a stunning, pristine waterfall. Imagine the refreshing sensation of swimming in this natural oasis. After your invigorating dip, make your way back to the kayaks, walking through the mud, sand, and slippery rocks along the same enchanting trail.

Once back in your kayaks, continue your journey down the river until you reach a warm and welcoming village of the Embera tribe. Here, be treated to a delightful traditional lunch and have the opportunity to change into dry clothes in the available bathrooms before exploring their beautiful handicrafts.

After a day filled with adventure and cultural immersion, a canoe will take you back to the van, allowing you to relax and rest as you return to your accommodation.
