I am so glad I chose this tour to visit the Embera Tribe. Hector was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable & able to translate from Spanish to English. Hector has lived in Panama 17 years and knows the people in the community really well. There were plenty of stories shared & lots of laughs. He answered all my questions about Panama, the culture & the tribe. I learned so much! The tour I took was about 6 hours. I’m so glad he encouraged me to participate in the dance at the end. This will always be a memorable experience! Thank you!

There were many factors that made this excursion just AMAZINGGGG, we were a small group, easy to interact with our local guide, the people of the community was super friendly, the waterfall, the national park, Traditional Lunch and of course their traditional dances, were unique, my girlfriend wished she could live there, right in the middle of the jungle. We were thrilled.

Got to say that this is the best tour I've ever done whilst on holiday. The Company owner and, on this occasion Guide for the tour, was a major contributor towards this experience. Fluent in English, he was exceedingly well informed and able to pass on this knowledge, giving us an in depth understanding of these people and how they live. He went out of his way to assist us in all aspects of this tour and I cannot recommend him and his company highly enough.
