Hear the tale of gold in the region as you hike up. At the final destination, I’ll share my 12 years of experience in artisanal gold panning with you. You’ll get to try out the tools (bar, shovel, pan, sluice box, mask, crevice sucker) and sample for gold. You might even get lucky and find something shiny in your pan!

On the way back, we’ll stop at a natural pool where you can cool off and enjoy the surrounding nature. Feel free to snorkel, have a snack, and then we’ll begin our journey back to the village of ‘’Dos Brazos del Rio Tigre’’. Engage with the villagers or gold panners along the way for a memorable cultural exchange and a deeper understanding of their way of life.
