Arrive at a breathtaking waterfall where you can snap some incredible pictures before moving on to meet the native Embera community. Be welcomed into the community with some music and traditional dances. Hear about their culture before sitting down to an Indigenous lunch of fried fish (tilapia) and patacones (green plantain). Finish your meal on a sweet note with a bowl of sliced seasonal fruit.
