Bienvenidos, WELCOME, to the website for our village! Here you will find all the
information you need to decide if you would like to visit us, and the details to make it all
very easy for you. We can pick you up right at your hotel, or you can find your way to
the bridge over the Rio Gatun along the main highway between Panama City and Colon.
We love to share our culture with people, and can promise you a friendly and
interesting visit that is guaranteed to touch your heart. You can find other Embera
villages that are deeper in the jungle, but none which are easier to get to, or more of a
joy to visit! Please take some time to look over these photos, descriptions, videos, and

Embera kids are so friendly! They will line up
to greet you and you will soon be instant
friends. They won't "bug" you, but if you want
a little pal for the day, you'll have one!

The Rio Gatun is pretty and placid. No rapids
here, just beautiful trees, many birds and
animals, and cool, clear waters.
