Embera Indian Village Tour
  One of the most popular local tours begins just
40 minute from our Panama Bed and Breakfast. This is the real thing right out of the pages of National Geographic- an authentic, unforgettable encounter with a living Indian culture.

The village Indians will share their native foods, perform a tribal dance, and offer authentic body paintings while explaining their way of life, traditions and beliefs.
Most guests have commented that this was one of the highlights of
their trip.
The Panama Canal
  A mega attraction--one of the Seven wonders of the world. You can get to the Canal in less than 30 minutes from our B&B. The place to go see it is called Miraflores Locks where there is a viewing deck and the Miraflores
Visitor Center, a state-of-the-art museum with interactive exhibits
of the Canal's history, people and ecosystem. Admission is $8 which gives you access to a terrace view of the locks several stories above. For a special Canal experience combine your visit with a meal at the Miraflores restaurant with its extraordinary views of ships passing through the locks as you dine. Another option is to take a "mini-cruise" in the Panama Canal as a day trip.
