INFORMATION ABOUT TOURS 1 TO 6
Embera village
EMBERA QUERA INDIAN
Your adventure begins on the shores of Lake Alajuela, where you will meet the Emberá people with their homemade canoes.
You will take a 30 - 60 minute boat ride (time depends on river water level). You will hike through pristine rainforest and see many birds such as herons, ospreys, perhaps toucans and parrots. You may also come across turtles, a caiman and, if you're lucky, a sloth, otter or monkey. If the water level is high enough, you can take a quick swim in a waterfall on the way to the village.
Upon arrival in the village, you will be greeted with traditional music and given a fascinating presentation of Emberá history, culture and life in a typical communal hut. After the presentation, you will be served a delicious lunch of fresh fish, fried plantains and local fruits.
After lunch, you have the opportunity to take a 20 - 30 minute hike with one of the village elders to learn more about their medicinal plants. You will also have time to view or buy the exquisite hand-woven baskets, plates or masks made of palm fiber, cocobolo (rosewood) or tagua nut wood, get a temporary tattoo, swim in the river, play with the Emberá children, etc to interact with the villagers or take photos.
Agua Clara locks
AGUA CLARA LOCKS
The Agua Clara Locks are one of the Panama Canal lock complexes and are located near Colón, Panama. They opened in 2016 and are part of the canal's expansion that allows larger ships, the so-called Neopanamax, to pass through the canal. The Agua Clara locks are technologically advanced and feature state-of-the-art equipment to carry out the lock process efficiently and safely. They are equipped with cameras and sensors to monitor ship traffic and control the lock process. Visitors have the opportunity to tour the Agua Clara Locks from a visitor center. From there you have an impressive view of the locks and can experience the locking process up close. There are also informative exhibitions and films that explain more about how the canal works and the significance of the expansion. The Agua Clara Locks are an important part of the Panama Canal, a technological masterpiece and an impressive example of engineering excellence. If you are interested in the Panama Canal, a visit to the Agua Clara Locks is definitely recommended.

The Miraflores Locks are an important part of the Panama Canal and are located in Panama City, the capital of Panama.

CASCO VIEJO -OLD TOWN
CASCO VIEJO
Casco Viejo, also known as Casco Antiguo, is the historic district of Panama City that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a fascinating neighborhood with a rich history and a mix of colonial and neoclassical architecture. Casco Viejo is known for its charming cobblestone streets, colorful buildings and historic squares.
There are many attractions in Casco Viejo, including the Cathedral of Panama, Plaza de la Independencia and the Teatro Nacional. There are also a variety of restaurants, bars, cafes, art galleries and boutiques, making the area a popular destination for locals and tourists.
It's interesting to note that Casco Viejo has experienced a renaissance in recent years, becoming a hip neighborhood with a vibrant cultural scene. There are regular events, festivals and markets that bring the district to life.

PORTOBELO - BEACH
Portobelo is a small coastal town in Panama known for its rich history and cultural heritage. Located on the Caribbean coast, it was once an important port for trade with Spain during the colonial period.
Portobelo is famous for its fortresses and fortifications built to protect the port from pirate attacks. The most famous of these fortresses is Fort San Felipe, which now serves as a museum and offers an insight into the history of the region.
Another highlight of Portobelo is the Iglesia de San Felipe, an impressive church built in the 17th century. It is known for its religious processions and celebrations, particularly the festivities in honor of the Black Christ of Portobelo, an important religious figure.
Portobelo is also known for its colorful carnival celebrations, which take place every November. During this time the city is transformed into a lively festival with music, dancing and traditional costumes.
Aside from its rich history, Portobelo offers beautiful beaches and opportunities for snorkeling and diving in the surrounding waters.
If you visit Portobelo, I recommend exploring the historic site, taking part in the festivities and enjoying the natural beauty of the surrounding area. It is a place full of culture and history that is worth exploring.
