Kreuzfahrtschiffe-Tagesausflug ab Amador

Embera village

EMBERA QUERA INDIANS

Your adventure begins on the shores of Lake Alajuela, where you will meet the Emberá people with their self-made canoes.

You will take a 30-60 minute boat ride (time depends on the river level). You will walk through pristine rainforest and see many birds such as herons, ospreys, maybe toucans and parrots. You may also see turtles, a caiman and if you are lucky, a sloth, otter or monkey. If the water level is high enough, you can take a quick dip in a waterfall on the way to the village.

Upon arrival at the village, you will be greeted with traditional music and given a fascinating presentation of the history, culture and life of the Emberá people 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 will have the opportunity to take a 20-30 minute hike with one of the village elders to learn about their medicinal plants. You will also have time to view or purchase the exquisite handwoven 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, interact with the villagers or take photos.
