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.
·Tour starts at pickup point previously agreed upon within the downtown Panama City area. ·We'll drive for 1 hour to the Alajuela Lake, where the boat captain will transport us to the Waterfall near the Embera Village. 45 minutes later we’ll be brought to the village. ·On arrival, we’ll be greeted by the community's welcoming committee. ·Then the head of the community's guest relations will take us to the community centre and give us lunch while providing a presentation on the history, customs, language, culture, education and diet of the tribe. ·Later we'll take a tour of the village and see how they live, including their huts and living quarters. ·After that, we'll gather around the community centre to watch the villagers play their ancestral music and dance as they've been taught for generations. ·Following they'll show us all of the handcrafts made by them, to help tribe members with their living expenses. ·At last, we'll get back to mainland and head back to the final drop-off
