Emberá Territory

Rainforests

Dugout canoes, rainforest and living culture with the Emberá people of the Chagres basin.

A short trip from the city, the Chagres River leads into Emberá territory: villages of thatched houses where music, dance, body paint and woven baskets keep an ancient culture alive. Visitors are welcomed as guests, never as spectators.
