Emberá Drúa, Indigenous hamlet in Caimitillo, Panama
The Emberá Drúa community sits along a river within Panama's rainforest, where traditional wooden houses stand elevated on stilts above the ground.
The Emberá people maintained their ancestral traditions throughout centuries, continuing practices from pre-Columbian times in the tropical forests of Central America.
Community members create detailed handicrafts using natural materials, including woven baskets from palm fibers and body decorations made from jagua fruit.
Visitors reach the community by taking a 45-minute canoe ride from Corotú Port, wearing light clothing and carrying water-resistant gear.
The village practices traditional fishing methods using hand-carved canoes and natural plant extracts that temporarily stun fish without harmful effects.
