Travel by dugout canoe deep into the heart of Chagres National Park, home of the Embera Native Village. A delightful one hour voyage through the lush rainforest scenery is a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with your surroundings and to admire the local flora and fauna. When your canoe reaches the Embera Village, the Tribe Chief will come out to greet you. A traditional performance of song and dance welcomes you and immediately displays the warm and inviting nature of the Embera people. Interaction with the natives is encouraged and is a wonderful way to learn firsthand about their culture. Make sure to browse the shopping area, where exquisite handmade goods are displayed and sold. Before you depart, enjoy a hearty snack provided by the Natives. Re-board the canoe for a trip down the river to your waiting transportation.
Special Notes:
Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed. Embarking and disembarking dugout canoes requires dexterity and flexibility. The landing is a rudimentary put-in point with no handrails or steps. Reaching the village requires climbing an incline; a handrail is available and a guide assists passengers. The Embera people wear minimal clothing; women do not cover their breasts. The Embera have beautiful and unique handmade souvenirs for sale. Please bring small bills. Facilities throughout the tour are very basic, at the Embera Village only latrines are available. Tour duration may vary from 5.5 to 6 hours long during the months of February until May, due to low water levels of the river. An alternate Native village may be used due to water levels.Child Price:
