Ngäbe Traditional Cooking Experience & Local Village Visit

Immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Ngäbe women, learning century-old cooking techniques passed down through generations. Dive into the art of preparing two distinctive dishes:

– “Brede”: Discover how traditional coconut bread is made and see how the locals bake it to perfection inside a unique homemade coconut oven.

– “Wacrigode”: Witness the delicate preparation of fish, expertly cooked inside vibrant green leaves, a culinary marvel that encapsulates Ngäbe traditions.

Join us for a hands-on experience in the heart of Ngäbe culture, including a visit to the vibrant life of a local village – a unique opportunity to engage with the community and gain a deeper understanding of their customs and way of life.

The village is open to visitors year-round, and among the attractions that people especially enjoy is a visit to the neighborhood school. However, please note that the school is closed during the holidays in January and February, as well as during other national holidays such as Easter and Panama’s National Day. For more information about the school’s closure dates, feel free to contact us to confirm the exact dates.

Guests are also invited to bring school supplies or make donations at their discretion, as the children in the village always have a great need for materials to support their learning.

A rich cultural immersion awaits you.
