About this experience

We will take you to a fascinating experience, perfect for lovers of culture and gastronomy. We will enter a Bribri indigenous community, where you will learn about their customs, food and lifestyle, both ancient and modern. Hand in hand with a guide and a member of the community, you will discover their stories, traditions and how they lived, dressed, ate and created their lifestyle from plants and the nature around them, as well as how they live today. One of the most charming parts of the tour is knowing the chocolate-making process and its meaning as a sacred drink for the natives! You will even have the opportunity to make your own chocolate! To close with a golden clasp, you can relax in a refreshing waterfall nearby and enjoy a delicious cold "Pipa".
