This experience was amazing and I recommend it a thousand times. The deal is very close and humane. I particularly highlight this because I am traveling with my mother, who is 70 years old. They adjusted to his needs, always attentive to anything that cost him. They adapted the rhythm and made her feel part of the experience, without missing anything. The tour, in general, is very complete and well articulated from start to finish. From the time the guide picks you up from the lodging to the closing, everything flowed. The local food they offer such as hot chocolate at the end is served in sustainable utensils, which adds to the immersion in culture and conscious ecotourism. For those looking for tours with close treatment, immersion in Costa Rican culture and a sustainable approach, this tour is perfect. For me, what is priceless is the humane treatment we receive. No doubt I would repeat.
¡Gracias por tus palabras! Es un orgullo saber que el tour fue fluido y que logramos adaptar el ritmo a las necesidades de ambas. Agradecemos mucho que valores nuestro compromiso con el ecoturismo y la cultura local. ¡Las esperamos pronto, esperamos sigan disfrutando mas de Costa Rica!
Review for Tirza – Bribri Cacao Ceremony Our experience with Tirza was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, we felt her warmth, calm presence, and deep connection to her Bribri roots. She guided us through the cacao ceremony with such care and intention, sharing the wisdom of her people in a way that was both accessible and deeply moving. Tirza carries the traditions of her community with pride and grace. She spoke beautifully about Iriria alokolpa – the sacred body of Mother Earth – and how everything in life is interconnected. She shared the spiritual meaning of cacao and corn, the vital role of women in the Bribri culture, and the belief that true spiritual paths choose you, not the other way around. What made this experience so special was Tirza herself – her loving energy, her ability to create a space of connection and respect, and the way she honored every part of the ceremony. Everything was done with attention and care, honoring both the tradition and us as guests. Thank you, Tirza, for sharing your wisdom, your softness, and your strength. You carry something truly sacred, and it was an honor to be part of it, even if just for a moment.
Thank you for this beautiful and deeply touching review. Were truly honored and grateful that you connected so profoundly with Tirza and the sacred cacao ceremony. Your words reflect the essence of what we aim to shre- not just cultural experience, but a heartfelt journey of wisdom, tradition, adn healing. Tirzas connection to her Bribri roots and her spiritual strenght shine through every ceremony, and its a joy to know it resonated with you. Thank for notice all, thank you for notice her worth. We are so grateful you were part of this moment with us. May the spirit of Iriria continue to walk with you on your path. Warmest regards.
The visit to the shaman and the Bribris was impressive, a unique experience. Andres and Jeannette showed us the medicinal plants and explained that we were allowed to lend a hand ourselves during chocolate processing on July 16, 25.
Hallo, vielen Dank. Ihre Meinung ist uns sehr wichtig. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben. Vielen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung der Bribri-Familien. Pura Vida!
Fantastic experience immersed completely in the forest and in contact with nature, in a very touching and deep cocoa ritual
Hola, nos alegra que hayas podido conectar con la naturaleza y que les encantò la ceremonia. muchas gracias por elegirnos. Pura Vida!
Highly, highly recommend! My wife and I went on this excursion without being familiar with the BriBri people. Our guide, Tirza, was an amazing guide and host, welcoming us to her village and culture. The ride on the river was breathtaking. Making chocolate from cocoa beans and swimming in the river were some of the highlights of our entire stay in Costa Rica. Thank you for an amazing experience!
Hola, that's really nice. Thanks for supporting the indigenous family. we are happy that you enjoyed the tour. Pura Vida, Costa Rica!
