Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience
Description
“We will leave Puerto Viejo at 7:45 a.m. and drive for about 30 minutes to the Bribri Indigenous Reserve. There, we’ll meet an Indigenous family who will share their culture, traditions, and ancestral knowledge of medicinal plants. Participants will explore a permaculture garden, taste fresh cacao fruit, and take part in the process of making traditional chocolate. In most cases, your guide will be a native Bribri guide from the Duriwak Bribri clan. On the way back, we’ll stop at a beautiful waterfall in the mountains of Talamanca, where guests can enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pool beneath the falls. After this relaxing break, we will return to Puerto Viejo.” Many thanks.

Great outdoor experience with insight into a different perspective. Chocolate experience and waterfall were very pleasant.
Braulio, along with the Bribri family at the reservation were so kind to show us the rich history and technique of chocolate making as well as knowledge of medicinal herbs. This tour made me appreciate this country so much more. I recommend 100%! Pura Vida!
We had an excellent time with friends with Braulio, our guide. We laughed, we learned a lot, and we left with incredible memories. Thank you, Braulio, for your kindness and thoughtfulness; we recommend it 100%.
Can you please contact us? We would like to go with you on some tours.
Hello welcome pura vida. Sorry for the late reply to your message, in case you keep interest my whtasapp +50585480044, Braulio naturalist tour guide. Thank you and welcome. pura vida
Fascinating visit to a cacao farm with a wonderful guide who knew lots about the medicinal uses of the native plants. Gorgeous waterfall. Highly recommend
Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We’re truly happy you enjoyed your time with us at Bribri Magic Chocolate and Waterfall Experience. Pura Vida
Braulio was so awesome! Very patient and knowledgeable as he explained so much about the area. The Bribri experience was so essential if you are visiting the area, and being able to tour the reserve, make cacao paste, learn some indigenous history/Bribri phrases AND see a gorgeous waterfall off the beaten path was more than worth it. Highly recommend if in the area and have the day to spend!

Muchas gracias por sus lindas palabras. Me alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutaron la experiencia y la catarata. Pura Vida
Everything was perfect. Received a great overview of the culture, people and their land before making chocolate. Lunch was tasty and they accommodated my GF request. Waterfall was superb. Was not rushed. Dropped off at hotel around 5pm so longer than advertised time which I was fine with!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed the full experience—from learning about our culture and land to making chocolate and visiting the waterfall. Pura vida
