Highlights

Discover the rich culinary heritage of the Emberá people in a unique cooking class nestled within Chagres National Park. In the enchanting riverside village of Emberá Drua, learn to prepare traditional meals using fresh, local ingredients and time-honored techniques. This hands-on experience not only tantalizes your taste buds but also fosters a deep connection with one of Panama's most vibrant indigenous cultures, allowing you to savor the flavors of their history and traditions. NOTE: THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE EMBERA TOURS WHERE PEOPLE DRESS UP IN COSTUMES AND DANCE FOR TOURISTS. WE WILL BE VISITING THE OLDEST COMMUNITY IN CHAGRES NATIONAL PARK.

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).
