We had a wonderful day at the Embera Puru Village. Although it was rainy the dugout canoe ride (which is motored not paddled) Was a lovely ride and helped us disconnect from the communities we had just driven through. We were welcomed with song and warmly welcomed by the village leader. We had a delicious lunch and tour of the village and were able to participate in song and dance with the community. My two-year-old and five-year-old loved the experience and my husband and I did as well. It was a highlight of our trip to Panama and Costa Rica. The people were open and welcoming and althoughI did wonder if they felt coerced in someway to be a part of this tourism I left with the impression that they were not. I appreciated their willingness to allow visitors in and we bought mini craft items from the people there. I hope that my impression is correct and that these people truly enjoy sharing their culture with others. It is important for all of us in today’s world to open her eyes and experience different cultures and this was a great way for my family to do that
Went to the Katuma Embera village. It was simply joyful. Met the Headman, his grandson and family. My friend danced with them, we both got tats and had a lovely traditional meal of fish and pantecones. I loved one of the skirts worn and the lady took it off so I could buy it!
A private Embera village tour is an opportunity which should not be missed. We left our cruise ship at Gatun Lake, took about a 30 minute bus ride, then about a 30 minute river trip in a dugout canoe, finally arriving at the village. About 30-40 of the village residents (adults and children) were on hand to welcome us and and spend time with us during the 1-2 hours that we were there. It was quite interesting to see how the villagers live and to learn about their customs. Included in the tour was a luncheon of fresh fish and plantains, both of which were prepared by the villagers in the manner in which they prepare their own food. In addition, a large assortment of handicrafts were available for purchase. The tour was greatly enhanced by Jose, our guide, who has spent considerable time with the villagers.
This excursion was AMAZING!!! I would highly recommend this excursion to Embera Village! The people are so warm and welcoming and the crafts they make are so beautiful. It was amazing to see how simply they lived. I would highly recommend visiting the Embera village. I will never forget this experience!
Juan was our guide and Alex was our driver from Panama Excursions. We were promptly picked up at the cruise ship tender dock in Fuerte Amador. Juan was very pleasant, talkative and full of stories with humour. He was very entertaining for our drive to the put in for the canoes. Unfortunately there was road work (repaving) and the drive took longer both ways, however, we were not delayed at all. Our canoe trip was enjoyable, good to wear hats, sunglasses and lots of sunscreen or protective clothing. Onto the Alhajueta Lake we boarded a motorized dug out canoe and travelled up past the Pararu Puru village and down the Changres River to a side stream and walk in the jungle to a scenic waterfall and swimming pool at the base of the falls. The trail was rough but a lot of fun, crossing the stream and up and over slippery steep rocks. Juan showed us where to stand under the falls for a supper massage. Returning by the rough trail and to the village where we were welcomed by the locals in colourful costumes. After a demonstration of local woods and foods in a comfortable building on stilts with bamboo floor we had lunch served in a palm leaf of fish and plantain, local fruits and juice or water. Time to view the local crafts for sale and a demonstration of local dance with an opportunity to join in. Back the same way we came with views of the impressive skyline of the city and some sights. We were back at the port on time as promised after an excellent tour.
