The Experience
What your day looks like
More than ten years ago, several families of Embera indians original from the remote rainforest tribes of Darien`s jungle migrated to Chagres River`s bank, situated at less than hour and half from Panama City. The Chagres River is the main water source of the Panama Canal, and due to its importance in the national economy, the Chagres National Park was founded in 1984 to protect its watershed. Parara Puru is a demonstrative village of the Embera culture, established in Chagres National Park thanks to its chief`s initiative, Antonio Tocamo. In it, the visitor has the opportunity to appreciate the customs and beliefs of the village in the same way as he would experience it in the remote rainforest tribes of Darien`s jungle. Private tours are available upon request.
