Full description
Explore Chagres National Park on a day trip from Panama City. Enjoy a traditional canoe ride on the Chagres River and hike to a preserved waterfall for a swim. Have lunch in an indigenous Embera village and find out about their culture. The day begins with a transfer by car from your hotel or residence in Panama City to the Chagres National Park, one of the most important forest and water reserves in Panama. Enjoy a traditional canoe ride on the Chagres River, followed by a half-hour walk through the jungle, walking on mud, water and slippery rocks to a beautiful and pristine waterfall. Take a refreshing some free time at the waterfall to swim, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Then, walk back to the canoe and continue to visit a real Embera indigenous community that will welcome you to enjoy lunch, traditional music and dances in a hut. Afterward, learn about the culture and way of life of this tribe via a conversation with the chief or one of the leaders before returning to Panama City.

This was a fantastic tour from the city to the countryside. Our guide Fernando was a lovely person and full of smiles. I highly recommend this tour to swim in a pool at a waterfall and experience local indigenous people, including a boat ride up the river. Both experiences were amazing. If I had one criticism is that an additional activity would be nice. We were back at the hotel in the mid-afternoon. I would have loved one more fun activity.

Absolutely brilliant day out. Your feet do get very wet so definitely wear shoes you don’t mind getting knee deep in! Lots of climbing over rocks, and the waterfall is stunning. Food and experiences great at the Embera Village too. Drive not too long, and service was the best we’ve had. You’ve got to do it.

The Embera Tour in Panama was absolutely amazing! It was so cool to learn more about the Embera culture and see their traditional clothing. The boat ride through the jungle was breathtaking and meeting the locals was unforgettable.
