EMBERA TRIBE EXPRESS TOUR - 5 Hours
ITINERARY
🌿 Step back in time and experience the vibrant traditions of Panama's indigenous Emberá community on our Embera Tribe Express Tour. We depart at 10:30 AM from Plaza Herrera in the historic Old Quarter and enjoy a scenic 1-hour drive to the riverside dock.
Along the way, we pick up fresh local fruits to share. From there, hop aboard a traditional piragua (handmade canoe) for a peaceful ride to the Embera village.
Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed with healing dances, fascinating cultural insights, and a delicious tilapia and fried plantain lunch prepared by the tribe.
It's an unforgettable cultural immersion packed into a half-day trip. We'll return to the city around 3:30 PM, depending on traffic.
