Embera Village - Phenomenal experience. Tour was well-planned and executed. Guide was extremely knowledgeable about indigenous culture and traditions, and of course, the experience of the Embera people sharing even one day was transformative. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Trip almost felt like I was in an Indians Jones movie - The canoe ride, walk thru the forest, waterfall, Indian village experience was simply exhilarating. Panamayourway company and the tour guide Aldo made it all the more memorable. They took care of everything and meticulously planned the trip. They are punctual, curteous, friendly and i had the best time. I would very highly recommend this company.

Stunning forest, kind fascinating way of life and great guide - Gabriel was an amazing and kind tour guide, going out of his way to make us feel comfortable and shared all about the history of Panama with us on the way to the forest. He even stopped on the way back to get us fresh coconuts! The Emberas people were so kind and welcoming and it is truly a once in a lifetime experience to see their way of life. Not to mention the forest is absolutely stunning it feels like you are on a whole different planet. Highly recommend this tour!!
