Duration:

Description
Immerse yourself in the culture of the Embera community on a private tour from Panama City. Visit the Sloth Sanctuary at the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve
Travel in comfort in a private vehicle with your own expert English-speaking guide, dedicated exclusively to your group. Spend the day with one of Panama’s original indigenous communities—the Embera, who live along the shores of Gatun Lake.
Immerse yourself in their rich culture and traditions through engaging, hands-on workshops. Learn about their language, music, dances, medicinal plants, crafts, and traditional practices like fishing and agriculture.
Take a short guided hike through the lush rainforest. Afterward, visit the Sloth Sanctuary at the Gamboa Rainforest Reserve, where rescued sloths are rehabilitated and cared for until they can safely return to the wild.
This meaningful experience not only connects you with Panama’s cultural and natural heritage—it also directly supports the Embera Ella Puru community, as most of the tour income goes directly to the families.
