Embera Indigenous Village Tour with Camilo

Kimberly_R, Apr 2025

Our guide Camilo was on time, very knowledgeable and friendly. He provided safe, clean transportation, ice cold water and answered all of our questions. The Embera village is an amazing experience with amazing people who prepared a delicious lunch with fish, fruit and fried green plantains. We learned about the community, listened to good music, and danced. This is an amazing experience and I would do it over and over again!

Thank you very much for the nice comments. We will take you over and over again XD

Memory for a lifetime

Our guide picked us up from the hotel at the exact time indicated, the road lasted 40 minutes, and we needed to buy some fruit as a gift for the tribe's visit. Be sure to take mosquito spray with you. Shoes for walking on the river bottom, because in some places the depth reaches the knee, and of course a bathing suit If you swim, there is a waterfall. Camilo Bermudes was our excellent guide and bodyguard, helping us with the transition of steep ascents and descents. He told us about the life of this small people and made our excursion unforgettable.

Hello Thank you very much for the nice comments. I'm very happy you enjoyed it as myself too.

Great tour to see the Embera village and the waterfall.

Our guide was Camilo. He was very pleasant and knowledgeable. At the Embera village he translated for us. Enjoyed the waterfall, too. Highly recommend.

Hey, thank you very much for the nice comments

Surely, not to repeat

Roberto_R, Oct 2025

The experience is curious. Very touristic. They have so well organized the visit, that each canoe that arrives in the village, has its minimum of musical reception and pseudo-traditional and routine dance (during our visit 4 canoes). They prepare a clearly dispensable commissary, and the 30 you charge visitors per person, possibly have such a high monthly and annual income, that it allows them not to insist on selling crafts they sell in the communal hut, most of them of Chinese origin and expensive. Nothing to do with the wide range of Mayan, Aymara or Qechuas crafts, at reasonable prices.

Hola. Muchas gracias por los comentarios. Pero es necesario para mi responder a algunos de sus comentarios. Primero que todo el hecho de vivir en un Parque Nacional hace que el recibir turistas sea la u Ica actividad económica de los indígenas Embera. El recibirlo a usted y a otros turistas implica gastos, como por ejemplo el combustible para transportarlo, el almuerzo que comió, mantenimiento y limpieza del lugar entre otros gastos y las ganancias se reparten entre todas las familias para sobrevivir, no se si se pudo percatar pero no existen lujos en este lugar, así que no se en que estarían gastandose el dinero como usted comenta. En cuanto a su comentario acerca de las artesanías, creo que es la primera persona que comenta que las artesanías son de origen chino. Comprendo que haya deducido algunas cosas por usted mismo, pero esta aceveracion es un poco sorprende tomando en cuenta que se le dio una explicación de como se hacen estas artesanías. Saludos

Muy buena experiencia....

Muy buena experiencia. Tanto la experiencia de conocer a la comunidad Embera como el servicio proporcionado por la agencia: puntualidad, exclusividad, excelente trato y conducción. Nos ha dado un montón de recomendaciones desinteresadas. Excelente elección
