It was better and more adventurous than I expected. It drizzled a bit on and off. I recommend wearing a rain jacket or poncho. Lunch was amazing.

We had the best time! Our driver/guide Kevin was so friendly and helpful. The tropical forest is so beautiful and stunning. And we learned a lot about the indigenous communities which was super fun as well. Definitely try kayaking if the weather permits. But honestly everything in this trip was great and we are so thankful for this wonderful experience!

It was a great experience, it is really worth it. Nice boat ride, nice walk on the river, great waterfall, you can swim. Bring your shoes for walking on water! This is really important, normal shoes will get wet and with no shoes hurts your feet. Meeting the Embera was an incredible experience. The only negatives was that the guide was a little ansios, driving too fast, doing things while driving, showing an incredible amount of videos on his Ipad, it was a little overwhelming. But he was super polite, gave us lots of informations, but please, go to the canal museum in casco viejo, that is the best place to get information from panama.

Truly a great experience especially sailing the river & spending time with the residents of Embera. There is a trek to the waterfall which includes going through the river and rocks hence may not be suitable for the very young or elderly unless very fit.
