Highlights
Our journey begins with hotel pickups or from designated meeting points. After an hour’s drive, we arrive at the Chagres River port, where Emberá community members welcome us. We board a boat for a 30-minute ride through the jungle. A 25-minute hike leads to a hidden waterfall where you can swim and unwind. We then continue to the Emberá village, greeted by ancestral songs. After settling into traditional houses, we attend a cultural talk to learn about their traditions. Next, we take part in a fishing activity, with our catch prepared for dinner. In the evening, enjoy traditional dances and, weather permitting, a bonfire. We sleep in authentic accommodations. At sunrise, after a traditional breakfast, we embark on a guided jungle hike to discover medicinal plants and wildlife. The adventure concludes with a final boat ride back to the port.

About Panama City
Panama City is the capital at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, with a colonial old quarter, a glittering skyline and rainforest at its edge.
Panama City sits on the Pacific coast beside the entrance to the Panama Canal, and ships queue in the bay for the passage. The Miraflores Locks, a short drive from the centre, let visitors watch vessels being raised and lowered. Casco Viejo, the old quarter founded in 1673, has restored colonial plazas, churches and balconied houses, and the Amador Causeway runs out into the bay with views back to the skyline.
Top-ranked sights in Panama City: Casco Viejo, Panama Canal, Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador).
