With the Emberá on the Chagres River

The Chagres River flows through dense rainforest and supplies the Panama Canal with water. In traditional dugout canoes you travel to a village of the Emberá, who show you their music, dances, handicrafts and way of life.

We pick you up at your hotel in Panama City and bring you back afterwards. We will confirm address and time with you after booking.
