Bribri Indigenous Reserve
Discover the Bribri culture of Costa Rica.
After picking you up from your hotel we will travel towards the Bribri Reserve, the biggest indigenous community in the country and also Talamanca ´s headboard, where we will begin our visit to the indigenous community of Watsi.
Our journey starts with a visit to an indigenous family, where 5 generations live together under the same roof. This will be a real close contact with these people's lifestyle. You will get to know their houses, their cooking, how they use medicinal plants, chocolate production, and many other aspects of their lives. You will taste chocolate with different aromas and flavors. You will have the opportunity to grind chocolate and get the know the secrets of this ancient process.
After this, we will go to one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the area. After refreshing ourselves, we will start making our way back to our hotels. If you wish to have a more intense experience, you can prolong your tour to an all day long adventure and include a visit to one of the shaman's who will perform a ceremony for all the participants. If you choose this option, you will enjoy a banana leaf wrapped lunch after the waterfall.
