    River cruise
    Part of the Caravan tour - - visited an Empewrs Indian village where they talked about their life style, crafts and history. They choose to live much like they did 100 years ago. Also tour another boat ride on the canal and river to visit several monkey habitats. They were well "trained" as they camon board to get grapes when we came close to shore.

    Embera Indian Villages on the Chagres River
    As part of a family reunion, my family visited the Emberá Drua village on the Chagres River. There are many villages along this river that provide tours and canoe travel on the river, but my father had chosen this village because the natives wear enough clothing to cover essential areas, making this visit a little bit less shocking for the young children with us. It was a great canoe tour, the guides were friendly and informative, and the lunch they prepared was great. We bought some craft souvenirs before departing and had a great time all in all.
