From the bus trip to the canoe ride to meeting the village it was a perfect day. Most of us have seen the ocean and played on a beach but when will you take a canoe ride through the rain Forrest with your Personal Embera guide? They greet you with smiles and invite you in with open arms. The day... More

I recently took the Embera trip with Garceth and had a great day. He was on time, polite, efficient, and knowledgable. I have done many tours in many countries, and he is definitely one of the best. This is an excellent way to experience the Embera culture. More

After a bit of homework we decided to do this tour with Garceth since he is the only Embera guide who organizes this tour. His website is http://www.emberatourspanama.com/EmberaToursContact.php Garceth is very good and knowledgable, great with kids and explains a lot about the culture and traditions. His own life as an Embera who fought to go to school and learn... More

After reading positive reviews about Garceth on Cruise Critic and knowing that he is a tribe member, we chose to book with him over Anne Gordon. We were joined by 3 other couples we met on our cruise's roll call. We are very fortunate to have had this day visiting the Embera Puru because the weather was not looking good... More

We have visited our Embera friends various times since moving to Panama City. Most of our trips are to the Embera "Drua" which is one of the furthest up river from the boat launch and also one of the biggest from our understanding though we have not visited all the villages. You pass two other Embera villages as you go... More

I booked Rudy's tours (via Patty's Casitas) in relief after trying several other companies who either did not bother to reply (yes, emberatour.com and panamaprivatetours.com, I mean you) or, because I am travelling alone, they gave me extortionate prices - sometimes over $200 - even if there were going to be other people on the trip, but I was not...

We had the great experience of seeing everything and more we could have imagined during our canal guide. The tour was safe, proffesional, fun and exciting. I would recommend to ANYONE traveling to Panama - A... More

A highlight of taking a boat ride to visit the Emera Indian Village ! The tribe was about 35 indians who were so friendly and hospitable to us visiting them. They greeted us with a special dance and welcome. They live on an island that is protected by the National Heritage Sites and Parks. They did a presentation of customs,... More
