Summary

Begin with pickup from your Panama City hotel, then travel to the jungle in a private car. Upon arrival in the riverside town of Corotu, board a dugout canoe for a trip up the Chagres River, where you’ll find jungle waterfalls, lush vegetation, and diverse birdlife. Keep exploring on foot: watch for wildlife on a hike through the jungle, with time to cool off and swim in a natural pool. After the hike, continue to the Embera village for lunch, and to meet a local artisan who will demonstrate local basket weaving and sculpture techniques. This is the perfect time to learn more about daily life in an indigenous community, as locals share stories about how they hunt, fish, harvest, and treat illnesses. Watch a series of three Embera dances before you make the return trip downriver, where you can shop for local souvenirs in Corotu. At the end of the day, make the return trip to your Panama City hotel, where this tour concludes.
