Chagres, Unforgettable Experience!
The caves were super interesting, the guide was telling us the story around us. I went with my friends on the 3rd day in Panama, we had a great time, I recommend them full, bring water, not so heavy suitcases. The best they give you the ready equipment, the views of the park when we were on our way spectacular, the managers were well organized, we spent all day in the activities, we went to eat in local restaurants. The Emberas very good people with an attitude and beautiful smile on their face always.Very good visit
Thank you!

Fun experience enjoying the scenery and cave
Luis really has all the well organized walk to the Chagres caves, with all the necessary equipment and ample explanation of the place. Then we visited some beautiful falls passing by the Chagres River. I recommend it!

Excellent excursion
Excellent tour, I didn’t expect the Caves of Chagres to be so exciting from climbing to crawling to get to the start. Then by boat along the Chagres River we find a sloth in a tree less than a meter away and finally we end up in a few small waterfalls where I recommend being prepared to cool off. Luis is a great guide who has a lot of knowledge of the area and you feel confident about the fact that he is a volunteer firefighter. 100% recommended tour
