LAGO BAYANo
KUNA EMBERA TRIBES AND AMAZING NATURE ADVENTURE FLORA FAUNA
Bayano lake is about 80 km east of Panama City. A nonstop the ride would take little over an hour but we can take around 2 hours making frequent stops at eateries, points of interest or shops.
At a Kuna village (the taking of photo’s is limited here) we board a boat for the day with which we can visit villages, Embera communities, gorges, dry and wet caves and waterfalls all depending on the season, weather, the height of the water in the lake and rivers and the tour you request and your wishes.
The wildlife is plentiful with seasonal sightings of crocodiles, poison dart frogs, tree frogs, otters, capybaras, toucans, king fishers, hawks, herons and parrots. Three types of monkeys might be seen around the lake and river edges as iguana’s, lizard, sloths, otter, armadillo’s and anteaters
NOTE: THIS IS ADVENTURE TRAVEL, CARS GET FLATS AND ROAD CHECKS , BOATS RUN AGROUND, HAVE MECHANICAL ISSUES OR EVEN LOSE THERE ENGINE. WE CANT GUARANTEE TIMELY ARRIVAL BACK TO YOUR HOTEL. TRAVELLING IN THE DARK IS NOTHING WE WORRY ABOUT IT CAN BE A NICE EXTRA ESPECIALY ON THE LAKE WITH UPCOMING MOON.
