Embera Indigenous Village Tour with Camilo - Our guide Camilo was on time, very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided safe, clean transportation, ice cold water and answered all of our questions. The Embera village is an amazing experience with amazing people who prepared a delicious lunch with fish, fruit and fried green plantains. We learned about the community, listened to good music, and danced. This is an amazing experience and I would do it over and over again!

Memory for a lifetime - Our guide picked us up from the hotel at the exact time indicated, the road lasted 40 minutes, and we needed to buy some fruit as a gift for the tribe's visit. Be sure to take mosquito spray with you. Shoes for walking on the river bottom, because in some places the depth reaches the knee, and of course a bathing suit If you swim, there is a waterfall. Camilo Bermudes was our excellent guide and bodyguard, helping us with the transition of steep ascents and descents. He told us about the life of this small people and made our excursion unforgettable.

A must see in Panama City - This is definitely a must-do tour while you're in Panama City! The village has such a warm, authentic vibe, and the residents are just living their everyday lives, which makes the experience feel really special. The handmade crafts are absolutely beautiful—don't forget to bring some cash if you want to take a few treasures home. We loved the fried fish and patacones, and the fresh fruit was super tasty too! That said, I did feel that the river boat ride could have been a bit safer. While life jackets were provided, most of them were quite old and not really the right size for an average adult. On both trips, I was given a very large life jacket that I couldn’t fasten properly or adjust to fit securely. Honestly, it felt like it could have caused more trouble than help if I had fallen in. Safety is super important, especially when traveling on an unfamiliar river, so I hope this is something that gets addressed in the future.
