Wonderful experience. Everyone involved made it fun, interesting and you felt safe Our guide Logan was funny and very knowledgeable
This was a great experience. The indigenous people were very friendly was a great time. Would recommend this to anyone. Everyone should do it.
This tour was totally worth it. The guide, Elliot, was very friendly, got us fresh fruits and water bottles and made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The hike to the waterfall is an adventure! You will get very muddy and walk through shallow water. With that being said, i’d wear shoes with good grip instead of sandals because there are spots where the mud/clay is slippery. Learning about and interacting with the Embera tribe was such a privilege. They are kind, welcoming, and the lunch they served us was delicious. I am really, really happy with my experience
Elliot, our guide, is remarkable. The tour is very difficult for. Person that is older. He was invaluable with his assistance. I couldn’t have done it without him. I’m glad I did the tour to get a frat feel for the indigenous people of Panama. The dancing, the crafts, the food. It’s an experience not to be missed if visiting the country. I would demand going with Elliot. He knows the history, is patient and knows all of the people.
