Visit to embera village
raquelrC4924FB, October 2026
It was a perfect day! Thanks to our guide Fernando and Embera people!

Great experience!
katrinafR8599MN, October 2026
Great experience. Pick up was on time. Our guide was Irving and he was super helpful. The drive is about an hour and you will travel to the waterfall and village by boat. Small hike to the waterfall where you can swim in the pool and take pictures. The village is pretty and the lunch was delicious. They have vegetarian options and gluten free options. Youll spend some time in the village where they will sing and dance and have a cultural show. You well be dropped back to your hotel once done.

Wonderful excursion
Deborahakaufman, October 2026
**Give Phillipe a raise. Or a crown. Honestly, give him both!** This is hands down the best tour guide we've had anywhere in the world, and we've traveled a lot! We genuinely had SO much fun. Phillipe's humor, energy, and enthusiasm were absolutely infectious, but what really set him apart was the incredible care he took of every single person in our group. The tour itself was fantastic. We started with a short but exciting hike through the river to a gorgeous waterfall. Once there, Phillipe treated us like VIPs. He held our hands to make sure we didn't slip, helped us swim across the water, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. He even took all our photos so we could put our cameras away, be fully present, and just enjoy the adventure. And the photos were STUNNING! Visiting the Indigenous village was equally wonderful. Everyone was so kind, warm, and generous. We danced together, shared a meal, and learned about their culture. I had wondered whether the experience might feel staged or contrived, but it was quite the opposite. It felt genuine, welcoming, and respectful. **And the tattoos!!!** The village has some seriously incredible ink artists. What a special experience! But I have to come back to Phillipe. His combination of humor, warmth, attentiveness, and genuine passion made an already beautiful experience absolutely unforgettable. This man is an absolute GEM. Whatever you're paying him, it's not enough!
