The residents of Ember\u00e1 Quer\u00e1 come from different villages; its main founder came from\u00a0Manen\u00e9<\/strong>, Dari\u00e9n, to contribute to the development of the Alto Chagres region, invited by his cousin Miguel Flaco, then resident of Ember\u00e1 Drua. Emeregildo Amagara and Melenio Bedoya also resided there, Emeregildo was convinced of the need to create the new village.<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Until the year of 1999 they lived in Ember\u00e1 Dr\u00faa, promoting local tourism development; from there they moved to\u00a0Parar\u00e1 Pur\u00fa<\/strong>\u00a0in search of greater opportunities, which they did not find there either. With the firm conviction that they had to found a village dedicated entirely to tourism, they decided to find suitable land at the end of 2006.<\/p>\n

Ember\u00e1 Quera, is a sustainable tourism community established since January 2007 on the shores of\u00a0Lake Gat\u00fan<\/strong>, District and\u00a0Province of Col\u00f3n<\/strong>. It is a village of the Ember\u00e1 ethnic group made up of people who came from Dari\u00e9n, and from other communities of the Eastern Sector of the Hydrographic Basin of the Panama Canal, dedicated exclusively to tourism.<\/p>\n

The community has adopted a regulation in which they establish the purpose and conditions of residence and exit from the community, the functions of volunteering, as well as the organization and functions of the tourism and community-based organizations, for guidance and strict compliance by all of the residents. They also have a Tourism Regulation that determines the activities and conditions of the services to be provided by all residents.<\/p>\n

In short, the community has determined its exclusive dedication to the service of tourism. For social and community purposes, the Traditional Government has been established, led by a Nok\u00f3 that looks after social welfare, healthy coexistence, and conservation of the customs and traditions of the culture they represent. The Nok\u00f3 is accompanied in its functions by a Board of Directors, and has an Alternate acting during his temporary absences.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
