RE: The Embera Puru Village of Panama

in #travel7 years ago

Wow, seems like a crazy awesome trip to a place few people ever go. What made you decide to go? I mean, I know you said you picked the tour because of their website, but what got you looking? Just curious :)

Great question Mike! As a traveler I've never been a fan of super touristy areas. I always want to get off the cattle path and see local life, experience as much as possible. When researching what to do in Panama, I found the native tribes very fascinating and started some research on where to go. There were a couple of various tours and after reading Anne's story and knowing that she donated a portion to the educational efforts it was a no brainier!

Hehe, the best way to travel. Usually the way I do it as well. Touristy areas are, well, touristy and not really that fun. Unless you observe them like being in a zoo, lol :)

Indeed the people watching can be rich!!
