The Emberá are a unique and beautiful people. They live much as they did when Columbus arrived in the 1500''s. You will soon forget the outside world as you are immersed in their cultural dance and music. Visitors are invited to explore the area’s abundant variety of birds and wildlife during a jungle trek that includes a visit to local waterfalls. During our visit, we will see that the Emberá possess amazing botanical knowledge – most will be surprised to learn of their contributions to modern pharmaceuticals. We are welcome to paint our bodies as the Emberá do, with a natural fruit dye called Jagua. We will also have the opportunity to view famed Emberá handicrafts.
A peaceful ride in a dugout canoe, a trek through the jungle, the opportunity to learn from a magical culture - all this in one day and within one hour of Panama City.
