Overview of your Panama city tour:

Panama is an amazing place, full of history, adventure & hidden natural treasures. Part of that is the EMBERAs, one of the original tribes that inhabited here since before the discovery of "The New World" (America) by Christopher Columbus, dating back 1500 years. This experience happens at the heart of the rainforest, around the artificial Alajuela Lake, flooded by the engineers that designed and built the Panama Canal. On this tour you'll get a general idea on how the indigenous tribes lived prior to America's discovery. On my 1st visit to the village, I learned about their history, culture, traditions, education, rituals, beliefs, & how mother nature provides all needed to live. I learned how they make clothing, the ink used to color their handcrafts, materials to build homes; leafs, roots & flowers to make remedies for illnesses; how they prepare food; they even taught me how to dance to their music. It was a very rich & rewarding experience that I'll never forget.
