2nd day: The Chagres Challenge

Get ready for an early start at 7 am when you will be picked and taken in an all-terrain vehicle to the remote village of San Cristobal, which is past the mountains of Cerro Azul, northeast of Panama City.

After a wild 4x4 drive through your own made highway, you will hike for about 2-3 hours on a trail within Chagres National Park up to Rio Piedras, a Chagres River tributary or all the way to Chagres River. Here you will get into rafts to float downstream (Class II-III rapids) into the untouched jungles of the upper basin of the Chagres River.

Lunch will be by the river and continue rafting further downstream passing an impressive granite canyon with some white water rapid action, and ending just before encountering Madden Lake.

The camp will be set up in a river shore or stay the night on an Embera Village around 4-6 p.m.

3rd day: Embera Indian Village

After breakfast you will help to take down the camp in river shore and leave no trace behind in the case of improvised camp or start the day on the Embera village. Along the trek you will be expected by a “piragua” (native wooden canoe equipped with outboard motor) that will take you to their Embera Indian Village.

The rainy season in Panama starts in April-May and ends by November-December. Due to changing river water level it can not be defined in advance where you will stay the night on river shore. At San Blas, usually the north wind settles from December to March which does not allow you to go as far as Cayos Holandeses. On this months camp is usually set on Cayos Limon.
