Embera Indian Indigenous Village Tour from Panama City
Meet your guide at your Panama City hotel, and enjoy views of the rolling jungle scenery on the trip to Chagres National Park. During the journey, learn about Emberá history and traditions, finding out how to be a good guest while you visit Emberá homes. Leave your comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle for a motorized dugout canoe, then travel upriver, following traditional trading routes into the jungle. Come to shore at a village that’s set amid thick forest on the riverbank, where you’ll be met by the Emberá village chief. See a series of traditional dances that bring Emberá traditions to vivid life, often depicting the wild animals of the jungle and river. Explore the village on your own, meet local people and ask questions about their daily lives, beliefs and work. Learn the origins and meanings of the Emberá people’s distinctive tattooing and bright bead necklaces. Meet the artists and craftspeople who create traditional items and souvenirs, with the chance to purchase a village memento before returning downriver. Finish the day with drop-off at your hotel in Panama City.
