PANAMA
SC-04/ CHAGRES RUBBER TUBE RAFTING, WET RAPPEL AND EMBERA VILLAGE (3 tours in one day). -4
Include: Guides, rafting equipment, rappel equipment, boat, lunch and tropical fruits, Embera community, ANAM, and transfer from Panama city.
This is all a great experience for all those that took the challenge, who can now boast of being very daring. It is the combination of 3 tours in one, two defying the spirit of adventure and the third, a relaxing and pleasurable experience of homely taste. All of this is surrounded by a dense and humid tropical jungle, in which is set the Panama, Chagres National Park, one of the most interesting wild refuges of our country.
Everything begins early in the morning when we pick up our guests at a designated departure point. From there we drive towards the Chagres Park where we board piraguas (dugout boats belonging to our friends, the Embera Indians), upon arrival. We are taken to a point upriver where we overcome the rapids of the Alto Chagres. These rapids are midway between soft and hard in difficulty, appropriate to descend in rubber tubes as the first phase of our challenging journey.
We begin the descent passing through the rapids as we are escorted by the guides with the piraguas attentive to any unforeseen conditions from the torrential flow to the peaceful puddles and again into white waters until we reach calm waters at the base of the river. At the end of 2 hours of descent we take a brief rest, to then return to the top which will take us to the waterfall of the Quebrada Bonita, the second challenge of our journey. Here we descend with ropes and mountain climbing equipment. The hike on this part of the journey is about 15 minutes and very impressive, demanding good physical condition. The wet rappel will take us 1 to 2 hours depending on the size of the group and their skills. This promises a lot of emotion.
Having completed the first 2 phases, our brothers Embera takes us to his dwelling to give us a demonstration of their ancestral culture, history, customs, dances, crafts (to acquire souvenirs), and to savor the “Odia” (food in Embera language), prepared for our enjoyment. We rest in the dwelling after a long journey and prepare for a comfortable return to Panama City.
