Special Notes
Wildlife sightings, while common, 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 Indian village may be used due to water levels.
