After being picked up at your hotel or address in Panama City the guide will collect the cash for the Embera village and Chagres National Park entry tax (USD $35 total per person), set off for the Chagres National Park and travel along the Chagres River by canoe to an Embera indigenous village where you will be welcomed by the community and learn about their culture during a conversation with one of the leaders of this community. Watch a live performance of traditional music and dances, followed by the opportunity to walk around the village and shop the handcrafts they make.
