- Chagres River - Begin your adventure as a friendly guide picks you up from your Panama City hotel at 8:00 am. You’ll travel to the shores of Lake Alajuela, where the Emberá will welcome you with their handcrafted dugout canoe.
Embark on a 30-60 minute boat ride (duration depends on the river’s water level). As you journey through untouched rainforest, you’ll have the opportunity to spot a variety of birds, including herons, egrets, ospreys, and possibly toucans and wild parrots. You might also see turtles, a caiman, and if fortunate, a sloth, otter, or monkeys from the boat. If the water level permits, you can stop at a local waterfall for a refreshing dip on your way to the village.
Upon reaching the village, you’ll receive a warm traditional welcome with music and be seated in a typical community hut. Here, you’ll enjoy an engaging presentation by the Emberá about their history, culture, and way of life.
