Incredible 10 out of 10! - What an unforgettable experience! We had such an amazing time immersing ourselves in the deep-rooted history of the Bri Bri, discovering the power of medicinal plants, and crafting chocolate from scratch—tasting it fresh was pure magic! The delicious homemade lunch was such a special treat, and to top it all off, visiting the waterfall was an absolute highlight. I even took the leap—literally—jumping in for the first time, a memory I’ll cherish forever! Huge thanks to our incredible guide, Braulio, for sharing his knowledge and making this journey so enriching!

Excellent Authentic Experience - Our guide Braulio picked us up on time. He was so informative about Costa Rica, the Bribri people and acted as our guide around the reservation. We enjoyed the medicinal plants tour immensely and the cacao making /tasting was unique. Lunch prepared by the Bribi family was delicious. Our visit to the waterfall afterwards was a refreshing and scenic stop to cap off a wonderful trip. I would highly recommend booking this tour, you'll love it.

Cacao, Bribri, frogs and Tucan - Braulio was an excellent guide. He did not only made the cacao tour with us, he showed us a Tucan and lots of frogs, which was amazing. We were allowed to make cacao by ourselves which was a great experience.

Very enriching and valuable experience - A great experience. Our guide, a great professional, with knowledge and desire to transmit it. Very good communication. The Bri-bri village, a real luxury to see and know. Very authentic and something necessary to see if you really want to know the culture of the area. The waterfall: one step.
