In this tour we will visit a Bribri Indigenous territory, located in the heart of the humid tropical forest in the Talamanca mountains. This special experience will allow you to discover the Bribri culture. The tour begins in Bambú, the reserve’s closest commercial town. There we will ride along the Yorkín River in an indigenous canoe, watching the exuberant vegetation of the Costa Rican and the Panamanian side of the river.

One hour later, you will arrive at the Yorkín’s indigenous territory. From there you will walk 25 minutes to get to the Stibrawpa women’s house Lodge. A local guide will talk about this organization and its purposes, then take everyone for a walk along the natural trail, where you will learn about the local trees, medicinal plants and local crops.

For lunch, you will enjoy a typical meal. You will also participate in the process of making chocolate and learn how they weave leaves to make their homes.

About BriBri Indigenous Territory

The BriBri and Cabécar who live within the Talamanca foothills and mountains are the most numerous indigenous populations in the country. They live in three main indigenous territories: the Alta Talamanca-BriBri  and the Alta Talamanca-Cabécar Territory cover large areas of the interior Talamanca mountains bordering the La Amistad National Park, and the smaller KèköLdi Indigenous Territory is just inland from Puerto Viejo. These indigenous protected areas were created in 1977 following the adoption of the Indigenous Act by the Costa Rican government, giving the country’s indigenous people the right to live within self-governed communities.
