This is a true 5 day adventure. The first day you arrive in Embera Puru, an Embera community along the banks of the San Juan de Pequini River just a couple hours from Panama City where you will be treated to the full overnight tour experience. From there it's hiking 4 days through the jungle with an Embera guide as well as your personal guide. Your Embera' guide will be swinging his machete clearing a trail along the overgrown old gold route all the way to the Caribbean.
This is an intense hike and is not for the faint or light hearted, but is an incredible adventure into the true jungle along an historic trail.
We highly recommend this adventure if you are up to it. Mind-numbingly gorgeous virgin rainforest with so much history hidden there. To read an articleabout this hike in the London Times click here To read more indepth information about the Camino Real click here.
