Description

Immerse yourself in the culture of the Bribri Indigenous People, a matriarchal society where women hold central roles in leadership, and the lineage is passed through the mother's line. Women and men are equally respected, and each person has a special role to play in the community. Spend a day on a typical organic farm run by Indigenous women and learn all about their culture, traditions, and farming practices. Discover fruit trees, plants and edible food. Together, prepare their sacred chocolate. Share a delicious and typical lunch prepared with home-grown products (let us know if you have a special diet). Then, head to a waterfall where you’ll be able to swim. This experience is far from mass tourism and represents a real opportunity to meet and support wonderful Bribri women and their culture.
