Having been on their canal tour already we knew just how good John was as a guide so had no hesitation booking an all day tour into the jungle to meet the Embera indigenous people. Early pick up and just over an hour drive to the Chagres River during which time John gave a great talk on the history of the Embera people. Greeted by a couple of Embera we boarded our motorised canoe and headed up river seeing caimen along the way. We stopped off and trekked through the jungle to a waterfall where we spent half an hour swimming and enjoying nature. We then set off again back to the boats and further up river to the Embera settlement. A really warm welcome and spent hours just enjoying their company, tasting their foods and understanding their culture and traditions. We were the only outsiders there all day so didn’t feel over commercial and exploited. Fantastic day had by us all and none of it was challenging to get to if your are physically able.

A very nice excursion. The canoe ride out to the village was alot of fun and scenic, traveling through the thick jungle vegetation. Expect to get your shoes and pant legs wet, as water splashes into the canoe during the trip. Wear shorts, and bring your bathing suit because the subsequent trip to the waterfall is great and you will defintiely want to get in the water. The village tour itself was entertaining and informative. Their lunch was very good. Overall, it was a nice experience. The tribe is a bit commercialized, but that's to be expected since they see vistor tours almost every day. But that's okay, it was still alot of fun.

We had a great time on our trip to the Embera people. Enrique our guide was knowledgeable, fun and professional. Everything from booking the trip to the drop off was perfect and communication was 100%. We had such a good trip and would highly recommend this company and this experience. Beautiful landscape and beautiful people the Embera were so welcoming and included us in their daily lives. We were served with great local food cooked fresh in front of us and dancing and songs that included us to give a full experience. Thank you!
