Darien Panama

Thanks for sharing! Can you provide a link to your tour provider?

Amy,

I would also like to know your tour operator.

I also had a great experience visiting an Embera community but we did not stay the night. We hiked through the jungle and were lucky enough to spot a harpy eagle.

I don´t remember really well the name of the tour operator really well, meaby exoticas aventures.
I know the name of the lodge they have in darien it is, lodge Filo del Tallo, Do it because it the best... take care..

google panama exotic adventures and you will get there page, they've lived for about 20 something years here in Panama, they give great tours and if you can afford it you should check it out.

Thanks - note taken.

Ancon Expeditions offers trips to Darien, though they don't come cheap. We went with them for 4 nights. You fly on small plane from PC directly to Cana Station - in the middle of the Darien. They have a rustic bunk house with several rooms and shared bath/shower. Also a dining/living/kitchen building with a porch. And some housing for staff. And that's it! The nearest town is a 13 hour walk - no roads in. Makes for a fabulous jungle experience. You'll have a great guide with you and do 2 hikes per day. ... We loved our trip.

We stayed at Cana Station also. Ancon is a great way to go.

I reseached for Ancon Tour, but is to expensive...

Hello everyone,
The Filo de Tallo lodge and Cana are two complete diferent experiences.
Cana Field Station is a unique place that can be only reached by a charter flight, there are no regular flights to that area.
Filo del Tallo Lodge is also unique but on a different way, the location is not as pristine as Cana, you can fly to La Palma on a regular flight and then go by river to the lodge, or drive to Meteti and then by river.
Another difference is that the guide on Cana will be a good bilingual naturalist guide.
When you take this things into consideration, Cana is more expensive for a reason.
Other option is Chucanti or la Marea. Sendero Panama is another good outfitter that is worth checking, their guides are experience on Darien, both Cana and Filo de Tallo.
Enjoy the Darien

Any good trekking for that area?
