5.00If you do the waterfall, water shoes definitely come in clutch but was still awesome experience without them. Definitely worth doing the waterfall! Roberto was an excellent guide, very helpful and knowledgeable. Great visit and lunch with the Embera tribe. We booked this tour less than 12 hours before we departed and we’re soooo glad we did! Highly recommended it.

5.00Our Viator tour into the jungle was an unforgettable experience. From exploring lush, vibrant forests to marveling at stunning waterfalls, every moment was breathtaking. The highlight was definitely interacting with the indigenous people—learning about their culture, hearing their stories, and gaining a deeper appreciation for their way of life. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made us feel safe and welcomed throughout the journey. This adventure exceeded all our expectations and is a must-do for anyone seeking an authentic, immersive experience in nature. Highly recommend!

5.00Very memorable tour to the Embera village. Kareem our tour guide was amazing and I highly recommend him. Kareem was so friendly and knowledgeable about the tribe and village. He went above and beyond to make our experience one we will never forget. We had the private tour with Kareem and would definitely do it again! The tour was so unique and they provided a delicious lunch and we were given a great tour of their community and learned all about their culture. The boat ride to the village was great and we saw monkeys and tucans.
Great time

The experience is so intresting, it was amazing to find out more about the culture of the Embera. Open up to them and they’ll open up to you!
