Discover the rich cultural heritage of Panama through a fascinating encounter with the Emberá Wounaan indigenous community. Originally from the Darién province, some members of this ethnic group relocated during the 1960s and 1970s to the upper basin of the Chagres River, where they established villages such as Tusípono Emberá, Parará Purú, and Emberá Drúa. Today, these communities live in harmony with nature along the banks of the Chagres River, offering you the chance to experience their traditional way of life.
During this experience, you'll have the opportunity to navigate in their iconic long canoes and see how they continue to wear ancestral clothing, such as the guayuc, a type of cloth loincloth. Immerse yourself in their customs, learn about their art, music, and lifestyle, while enjoying an authentic insight into one of Panama's most significant indigenous cultures.
This tour provides a unique window into the history and traditions of the Emberá, where you can admire their remarkable knowledge of the environment and their ability to preserve their cultural identity through generations.
