Journey to the Emberá
Standing at the edge of a dugout canoe, an Emberá guide looks toward his village, where a thatched-roof hut rises from the jungle’s edge and reflects in the calm water. The mirrored scene captures the quiet connection between land, river, and people — a moment that feels timeless amid the vast green of Panama’s rainforest.
