Following pickup from your hotel, you will travel to Alajuela Lake where you will board a piragua, a traditional indigenous canoe in the Chagres River. Following that, head to Tusipono Embera, a small traditional village located on the bank of the Chagres River in the middle of the rainforest. There the Emberas will show you their traditions, including their way of dressing and how they elaborate their handcrafts. They will then perform their traditional dances and music, before you are provided with some time to interact directly with them. You'll finally enjoy a local lunch as prepared by the Embera community, before being returned to your tour starting point. Note: The Embera community suffered a fire and several houses were affected. With your visit you will be contributing to the reconstruction of the damaged houses.
