Great day long outing to a waterfall and Embera village. Loved it!!!

5.00This was an exceptional experience. Learned a ton about Panama from our guide Daniel. Took a relaxing boat ride, and then hiked to the waterfall. The hike was significantly harder than expected (and it was raining!), but Daniel stayed with and helped my 76 year old husband the entire time. We then went and had a delicious lunch at the Embera village. It really was an outstanding, fun and exhausting day. Worth every penny!
Great Tour

5.00It was amazing. Dan was our tour guide and was very charismatic, informative and took the time to translate for us English speakers. The tour itself was not too difficult though we had to climb a few rocks, down some inclines and across/through the river (it got muddy); so do make sure to wear appropriate shoes (we wore water shoes and it turns out these were perfect). The rain poured but this kept us cool, it's a magical experience even with the ride on the motorized canopy. We highly recommend!
Nice for tourist

3.00It was a nice experience. Of course the folklore is customed for tourist but nice to experience overall. Our guide was not very talkative from the beginning (he was more doing his job as a driver) and we were lucky to find a guide from another group who provided information and translated what the member of the embera tribe was saying. I would say this excursion is not for elderdly people as you have to walk in the jungle and cross the river sometimes by walk.
Excellent, memorable and well-organised tour
