DESCRIPTION
day 1
Transfer in the morning from Panama city, such as in the previous program
“A day with the emberas”.
On the arrival in the village, we shall set our camp for the night in
one of the typical embera huts, built on stilts.
During the rest of the day, the emberas will show us how they make their
handicrafts, some of the plants that they still use for their traditional
pharmacy, and will dance for us.
At the end of the day we will enjoy a nice refreshing swim in the river
(there is no shower, but there are decent latrines..).
During dinner a good part of the villagers will stay around us, as eager
to know about us as we are curious of their culture...Be prepared to hear
a lot of hunting and fishing stories, but be aware of the fact that, like
all hunters or fishermen, the emberas have a strong tendency to exagerate
!!! |

day ?
Chagres national park is quite large, there is a lot of forest to explore
and we can arrange excursions inside the park with the emberas for how
long you wish...
For example we can organise a superb hike from the river Chagres to the
river Pequeñi...it takes two days, with bivouac in the jungle. |
