Bri Bri amazing trip!

Published on Feb, 2025

Thanks to Tiresa for such a good tour. We enjoyed every moments! The shaman, the cacao, the plants, the meal…everything was wonderful.

This was a fantastic day!

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a fun day. A few minutes from Puerto Viejo. Some hiking, some swimming, and a ritual spiritual cleansing from a shaman.

Beautiful moment in the Bribri community

Published on Jan, 2025

We had an incredible experience with the Bribri community. The shaman had such a beautiful energy, and we felt truly honored to learn from him. Our guide was absolutely perfect—she transported us into this rich and fascinating culture with so much passion and knowledge. We also felt very welcomed by the family in the community, sharing delicious, locally made food and meaningful moments together. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with warmth, authenticity, and deep connections. Highly recommended!

Fantastic day

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic experience with an indigenous led tour and women owned business. Our guide was fabulous, and walked us through understanding our visit to the local shaman. The visit was a really special experience and we felt so peaceful after our cleansing ritual. Next we visited a lovely welcoming local family for an educational tour of their home plantation/gardens, made chocolate from cacao, shared a meal together and tried to shoot a bow and arrow (poorly!). We ended up the day with the locals at a refreshing waterfall. We learnt a lot about the BriBri people and culture on a really fun day out. Highly recommend this tour.

Memorable experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

Tirza and Michelle provided a great day for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed the process of chocolate making with the indigenous family followed by refreshing waterfall swim. Tirza was super knowledgeable about the area and made it a truly enjoyable experience. Thanks Tirza for the memorable day!
