EMBERA VILLAGE & GATUN LAKE PANAMA CANAL WATERS

Gatun Lake, located 45 minutes from Panama City, not only boasts vast natural riches but also harbors a rich cultural heritage. Serving as a crucial artery for the functioning of the canal, it is home to at least four communities of the Embera ethnic group. Visit the Embera Ella Puru indigenous community, where you can experience the lifestyle of the indigenous groups, see handmade crafts available for purchase, and witness traditional dances. After tasting the traditional lunch of fish and fried plantains, head towards the Gamboa Canal Zone. Gatun Lake in the waters of the Panama Canal enchants visitors with magnificent wildlife and vegetation. White-faced and howler monkeys, various bird species, sloths, shy but brave turtles, caimans, and crocodiles are among the animals you may encounter during the tour. A dream trip for nature enthusiasts and those looking to spend time on the waters of the Panama Canal.
