Chagres National Park and Embera Indigenous Village Tour

Panama City 7 hours

Your day tour into the Chagres Rainforest to visit an indigenous Embera village begins with a handy early-morning pickup from your hotel in Panama City. You’ll be escorted to a remote community in the raiforest that you’d struggle to find independently, even though it’s only about an hour’s drive from the capital. Take a walk through the rainforest to the village without the risk of getting lost. Meet the Embera people with assistance from your guide, who will translate the language and culture for you. Learn more about the indigenous lifestyle, see the handicrafts they create, and eat a traditional meal of fried fish, plantains, and fresh fruit for lunch. You can purchase some crafts if you like. At the end of the day, enjoy a return transfer to Panama City, getting back in time for dinner.
