This guided day trip lasting about 7 hours starts with a pickup in Panama City, followed by a drive to a local market where fruit is purchased for lunch. After about 75 minutes of travel, the group stops for 15 minutes at Mercado de Abastos to buy fresh fruit. The tour continues to Chagres National Park, where a 30-minute canoe ride on the Chagres River leads to a waterfall. Visitors spend around 30 minutes swimming in the waterfall area before taking another 15-minute canoe ride to reach the Embera indigenous community. Here, guests spend approximately two and a half hours receiving a welcome with traditional music and food, learning about the community's culture, and watching their traditional dances. The return trip takes about one hour back to Panama City. Included in the tour are bottled water, lemonade, snacks, lunch, and air-conditioned transport. An extra fee payable in cash is required for the Indian Community and Chagres National Park entrance. Participants are advised to wear water shoes or sneakers that can get wet due to sharp, slippery rocks near the waterfall and to bring a change of clothes and cash for local purchases.
