This full-day bus tour lasts about seven hours and starts with pickup from hotels in downtown Panama City or Casco Viejo. The group travels by car to Chagres National Park, Panama's main rainforest and water reserve. Upon arrival, guests board a traditional canoe for a river ride through the forest that feeds the Panama Canal. After the boat trip, a guided hike of around 20 minutes takes visitors over mud, water, and slippery rocks to a waterfall where swimming is possible. Following the swim, the tour continues with a visit to an Embera village. A community leader will talk about their culture, and visitors can watch traditional music and dances performed in a village hut. Lunch is served here, consisting of fried fish, plantains, and seasonal fruits. Participants can observe the Embera's clothing and handcrafted items and learn about their lifestyle in this native village. The tour includes bottled water and lunch, with optional purchases of handicrafts available. Visitors should bring appropriate footwear for wet and slippery conditions and swimwear under clothing since there is no changing area at the waterfall. Bathrooms with changing facilities are available at the village. The entrance fee to the Embera community and Chagres National Park is not included and must be paid in cash. Sunscreen and a hat are recommended; mosquito repellent is not necessary. This tour is not advised for people with mobility issues.
