Highlight of Our Trip - The highlight of our time on the Caribbean side of Costa Rica was this experience. Braulio provided a personal experience that was much more than we thought we would get. My husband & our two daughters (18 & 30) enjoyed every minute. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Highly recommend - Braulio was an excellent tour guy. He responded quickly and was kind enough to pick us up at our hotel. He then drove us in his car to the Bribri village, where he was very knowledgeable while teaching us about the medicinal uses of local plants. He let us taste fresh cocoa plant from the tree and then allowed us to help roast the seeds, crush them and then grind them to a cocoa paste. We were allowed to take the raw chocolate home with us. We were then served a traditional Bribri watch served in a leaf bowl. Braulio was able to answer all of our questions and accommodated all of our request. We would take this tour again and recommend it to anybody who wants to learn about the indigenous culture of Costa Rica and how to make chocolate.

Family trip at the Bri Bri waterfall and chocolate tour - This was an excellent experience. We really enjoyed learning about the Bri Bri people, plants and making chocolate. The drink we made at the end was delicious. Braulio is not only and excellent guide, but excellent person as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him, I wouldn't look any further Braulio is your guy. Thanks to Caribe Green adventures for giving us an authentic experience.

Braulio is your TOP Guide - We were picked up at the hotel as agreed and on time. Braulio gave us lots of exciting and informative information about the culture of Bribri, medicinal plants and chocolate production. It was very entertaining and funny. We were allowed to try many things ourselves and make chocolate ourselves. On the way back we stopped at a waterfall which could be reached in a few minutes (good shoes are recommended). After the short refreshment we had a coconut and we were taken back to the hotel. Gladly again, everything TOP!

Great overall experience - Very friendly and competent guide Braulio. The tour around the Bribri town was super interesting and fun. Learned a lot about culture and plants and got to do our own hot chocolate from scratch. The waterfall was a nice add on

So much fun! - Braulio was so knowledgeable and passionate about the culture and the place. Our host was fun and has the entire area set up for visitors. Chocolate making was a fun addition to very informative excursion. Hike to the waterfalls is short and not too intense. Waterfalls are beautiful.
