“We will leave Puerto Viejo at 7:45 a.m. and drive for about 30 minutes to the Bribri Indigenous Reservation. There, we’ll meet an Indigenous family from the Dutsuwák clan 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.” Hope you like the inmersión Pura vida Costa Rica

Probably the most outstanding tour guide I have ever had. I visited in just after New Years with my partner and received exceptional service. Detailed information about the British British tribe and then we met his family at a local restaurant for lunch. Braulio then arranged a transfer to help us get over fro Puerto Viejo to Manual Antonio.
We had a great experience and learned the local colture with our guide Braulio.
We found Braulio to be a very informative guide and a genuine person, and Janet and her daughter were friendly and charming, welcoming us to visit their rainforest property. We appreciated the pick-up from our house, the comfortable ride, patience in responding to all our questions, complimentary chocolate tasting and fruit. We really enjoyed the garden tour, learning about medicinal plants, the hands-on chocolate making, and the waterfall visit.
Such a wonderful trip! We had the best time.
This was THE most amazing thing we did in Costa Rica! We had a private trip which made it even more special. We had a wonderful knowledgable friendly and kind guide, we met an amazing local family and learnt all about how they make chocolate from the plant, through to roasting the cacao beans. We got involved in all parts of the process and then had hot chocolate with them and roasted bananas and crushed sugar cane. Then we visited a waterfall for a swim and relaxation. A phenomenal trip, thank you so much! Highly recommend.
Excellent guide, he is a professional in the field, shares his knowledge, takes his time, and enjoys what he does. I recommend that you take the tour with Braulio.
We had an amazing time learning about the BriBri culture and chocolate making! Our guide Braulio was very nice and knowledgeable. I will never forget swimming under the beautiful waterfall! I will hold this experience close to my heart forever 💕 thank you Braulio!
Hello It was a pleasure to have you visiting Costa Rica, it was special t9 me being your guide and I am so happy that you loved the tour. Thank you
Braulio was very professional and informed. He seems quite passionate about the preservation of indigenous ways of life and the continued wellbeing and prosperity of Bribri people into the future. He is also open about his own life experience as a local and was very informative on what life is like in Talamanca/southeast Costa Rica--all the natural beauty, destructive history and influence of US fruit companies, indigenous autonomous zones, lack of job opportunities, agriculture. Very fascinating--was as fascinated by his description of his own life as by the Bribri village. The chocolate is delicious by the way, and the waterfall and pineapples at the end cap it off great. Would recommend, also if you want locally made souvenirs like tribal masks, the Bribri village has them much more affordable than souvenir shops and you're directly supporting indigenous people trying to make a living in a way that preserves their culture under threat of fading away. Also, the drive in Braulio's van from Puerto Viejo to the Bribri village is gorgeous, jungle mountains and rivers and you can see across a misty valley to the hills of Panama.
Hello Always more than welcome with comments that promote and help to share our life style in the area, being your guide was amazing. Thank you Pura vida
Amazing experience! Braulio is very knowledgeable about the Bribri culture and different herbs and plants that grow in the region. I would absolutely recommend this tour.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure to have you, and I hope to see you again in Costa Rica!
Great outdoor experience with insight into a different perspective. Chocolate experience and waterfall were very pleasant.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience. It was a pleasure hosting you, and I hope to see you again!
