We will be visiting a natural reserve of immense significance to our country. Not only does it serve as a vital source of potable water for Panama City and Colón, but it also plays a critical role in maintaining the smooth operation of the Panama Canal—a cornerstone of global trade and transportation.

Within this reserve lies the Embera Parara Puru, an indigenous community situated along the banks of the Chagres River and Lake Alajuela. This vibrant community is self-governed, operating under its own laws and led by a supreme chief who ensures harmony and order within their territory. This visit offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in their rich customs and traditions while supporting the community by purchasing intricately handmade crafts.

Upon arrival, we’ll embark on a scenic ride across Lake Alajuela in a traditional Embera canoe. As we glide through the serene waters, you’ll be surrounded by lush, thriving vegetation. Along the way, we’ll stop at a safe, designated spot on the crystalline river where both adults and children can enjoy a refreshing swim.

During your visit, you’ll gain insights into the Embera way of life and witness how they’ve successfully balanced preserving their cultural identity while adapting to the challenges of the modern world. This authentic and enriching experience offers a rare glimpse into a resilient culture and promises to leave you with unforgettable memories.
