I booked the Embera Indian Village excursion through Celebrity to be assured I'd finally visit a Central American indigenous tribe. Two failed attempts to visit the Carib Indians in Dominica due to excursion cancellations due to lack of interest. After a dugout canoe ride up the Chagres River and across Gatun Lake, we arrived at the village. The native dress, and the children especially, were incredible. When I know I'll be meeting children, I bring along either candy or trinkets. I had two tubes of glow bracelets, and they were welcomed with giggles and glee by the children but moreso by the adult women. By the time we left the village, most of the women were wearing the bracelets.

We learned about craft making, food preparation, life and death celebrations (most interesting that death is a joyous event but birth is not), etc. I had the opportunity to have an Embera woman dress me in her native garb, breast plate and all. Women were given gorgeous hibiscus tiaras (mine got drenched on the canoe ride back to the bus), and we dined on fresh tilapia from the lake...bones and all. I've yet to acquire a taste for fried plantains. The serving plate was a cleverly folded banana leaf held together by an hibiscus flower's stem.

Don't miss this experience if you love learning about other cultures. Also, don't miss the bano experience. I used the men's as the women's was occupied. Can't find the words to describe this.
