In my experiences, people will be able to live and know from the perspective of a local person with indigenous descent. many traditions that are very important to the culture such as medicinal plants, knowing the ceremony house, crafts, cocoa chocolate making and history. and also very important to share with local people and take home a beautiful memory of everything experienced in the place.
and then after this beautiful cultural experience. We visited a waterfall in the area where you can swim and enjoy nature. It is an experience that will allow you to connect with the indigenous Bribri culture of the area and appreciate the nature of its surroundings, which very few people managed to visit and learn about the beauty of this culture. And something also very important is that even the little ones who live this experience will learn about one of the best-known cultures in Costa Rica.

What To Expect
Cataratas Bribri Talamanca
My experience will deepen your knowledge of living the Bribri indigenous culture. One of the most interesting cultures for its way of living in harmony with nature. I will take you to know my towns, where I grew up learning my indigenous roots, transmitted from generation to generation, where we work sustainably helping families in the territories. Thanks to Sibö (The super indigenous being God) I had the opportunity to grow up in the indigenous territories, learn the wisdom of our ancestors, love and care for nature, where I awakened a desire to rescue my culture and share it with the people who visit us. In the territory we will enjoy imposing mountains, beautiful rivers, its Creole cuisine, simple life, ancestral activities, such as the preparation of cocoa, a sacred drink, its Bribri language, its natural medicine and its worldview. It really is a culture rich in knowledge to learn from, in a unique expertise. Ending in a beautiful waterfall

5.00The tour with Eliseo was great. He introduced us to BriBri culture in a very interesting and authentic way. When making cocoa we were allowed to lend a hand ourselves. So nice that the BriBri family opened their house so we could get to know their way of life. The bath at the beautiful waterfall has formed the crowning conclusion. Thanks Eliseo for this great morning.

5.00Lovely experience. The guide is so knowledgeable and took photos for the group. We learn so much about this culture and made chocolate. The hike to the waterfall is medium intensity with hills and maybe 100 steps coming back and going down. Excellent experience!

5.00We were greeted by a friendly man who was talking passionately about his people and the customs that they still have this day. You could see a little sparkle when he showed us how chocolate is made. He also learned us some Bribri words. The tour was incredible and authentic. I can recommend the tour. Also, ask him about a nightly walk in the jungle. 100% recommended Skip the big agencies.

5.00We had a great time with our guide. We learned a lot about the indigenous people and chocolate making, we were able to try ourselves to work with the utilities and in the end we went chocolate with bananas. Visit the waterfall with a cocktail on the way back. One of the best visits we made to Costa Rica. Very pationne, symphatic guide. The visit is definitely worth it. Recommended!
