Hi! There isn’t a lot of walking involved. This is how it goes: 1. When they pick you up, you’ll be in a bus, which ride last around 30 minutes. You’ll be dropped off at a port to take a small boat that will take you around the monkey islands and you’ll be seating in the small boat for at least 2 hours. You’ll be able go around different small islands. 2. When the monkey island is over, you’ll be picked up by a mini van (very comfortable) and you’ll be driving for at least 1 hour. 3. Once you arrived to the Embera town, you’ll be riding a Canoa, that trip is like 30 minutes and the canoa is not confortable at all. All you have to do it is to seat down, but if you have back problems you might have a hard time. 4. After 30 minutes on the canoa ride, you’ll arrive to the village. Wonderful experience!! I don’t have words to say how much I enjoyed it—- Mother Nature —- amazing. 5. When it is time to go home, you’ll take The canoa (but the ride is easier and faster because of the water stream). 6. Back to the van and they’ll take you to your place.

They do pick up you at the cruiseterminal! Just contact the company by mail! We payed half of the amount before the trip and the other half at home .

Hello Jeanete, Yes, our guides are bilingual and will translate to English everything that is explained in Spanish by the Embera people. We will make sure you don't miss out on anything.

How do you get to Colon? Is it a canoe ride from the Lake? How much time is spent visiting Monkey Island? Do you see any of the locks in action during this trip?
