Highlights

Visiting the Emberá community in Chagres is a unique experience that immerses you in the ancestral culture of this indigenous people. Here's why it's worth it:


  1. Connect with a Living Culture
    The Emberá are one of the seven indigenous ethnic groups of Panama and have preserved their traditions for centuries.

You'll learn about their language, dances, traditional music (with flutes and drums), and their lifestyle in harmony with nature.


  1. Canoe Adventure on the Chagres River
    Access to the community is usually by traditional canoe (piragua).
    The Chagres River is vital to the functioning of the Panama Canal, and the Emberá have been its historical guardians.


  2. Unique Arts and Crafts
    The Emberá are famous for their chunga (plant fiber) baskets and cocobolo wood carvings.


  3. Pure nature in Chagres National Park
    The community is surrounded by tropical rainforest, with hidden waterfalls and trails to explore.


  4. Responsible community tourism
