“This trip has just been absolutely wonderful. I feel that I have gained so much in just one week! It’s almost unbelievable. I only wish that everyone else had the same opportunity – maybe then they would realize just how important places like this are. I have had so much fun!”

“The Embera elders told us about their lives and customs. They fed us fish caught right out of the river and took us swimming at a beautiful waterfall.”
