Description

Start with morning pickup at your accommodation in Panama City. Relax on the comfortable drive that takes you out of the city and into the lush Chagres Rainforest. Pass through the scenic countryside and stop to gather some local fruit along the way. Hop aboard a traditional canoe and have indigenous men paddle you through the verdant heart of the rainforest. Arrive at a breathtaking waterfall where you can snap some incredible pictures before moving on to meet the native Embera community. Be welcomed into the community with some music and traditional dances. Hear about their culture before sitting down to an Indigenous lunch of fried fish (tilapia) and patacones (green plantain). Finish your meal on a sweet note with a bowl of sliced seasonal fruit. Watch a cultural presentation of dancing and music before having free time to explore the community, buy handicrafts, or go for a refreshing swim in the river. Have the chance to get some body paint with jagua ink. Return to your accommodation with unforgettable memories of life in the jungle.
