5.00Amazing experience! 100% worth it. We arrived to the waterfall and village by canoe which was nice. The indigenous Embera people were great. They danced, served us a delicious lunch, and were very welcoming. Our guide Orlando was also great. He took photos of everyone and sent them to us at the end. Be sure to bring some treats for the kids at the village and tip your guide.

5.00This was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Our tour guide was extremely informative and shared great insight into the history, culture, and surroundings throughout the entire trip, which made the journey just as enjoyable as the destination. The village was truly the highlight. The people were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely excited to share their culture with us. Every interaction felt authentic and meaningful, making the experience both memorable and impactful. Overall, this was a wonderful trip and easily one of the best cultural experiences we’ve had while traveling. We’re already planning to return and spend a couple of nights in the village next time to fully immerse ourselves. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama City.
