Description
The Embera Tusipono Tour begins at Lake Chagres, located about 40 minutes from Panama City. From there, visitors board a traditional boat (dugout canoe) for a 30 to 45-minute ride along the Chagres River to the Embera Tusipono community. During the boat ride, travelers can enjoy stunning views of the jungle and local wildlife. Upon arrival, community members warmly welcome visitors and guide them through various cultural activities. Guests can experience traditional dance and music, observe the craft-making techniques of the Embera, and learn about their way of life, including their agricultural practices, use of medicinal plants, and social structure. A highlight of the tour is a visit to a nearby waterfall, where visitors can take a refreshing swim in its crystal-clear waters, surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery. The tour offers a deep immersion into Embera culture and traditions. The entire experience lasts approximately 6 to 7 hours, allowing plenty of time to enjoy the activities and gain insight into the community's lifestyle and environment.
