Authenticity - We were greeted by a friendly man who was talking passionately about his people and the customs that they still have this day. You could see a little sparkle when he showed us how chocolate is made. He also learned us some Bribri words. The tour was incredible and authentic. I can recommend the tour. Also, ask him about a nightly walk in the jungle. 100% recommended Skip the big agencies.

Knowledgeable and friendly guide! - We had the pleasure of spending the day with Eliseo. He gave us a tour of the Bri Bri grounds, explained some of the beliefs and practices, taught us chocolate making, and then showed us a beautiful waterfall. He was patient and happy to answer all of our many questions. A true highlight of our Costa Rica trip!!!

Bri Bri Talamanca - We had a great time with our guide. We learned a lot about the indigenous people and chocolate making, we were able to try ourselves to work with the utilities and in the end we went chocolate with bananas. Visit the waterfall with a cocktail on the way back. One of the best visits we made to Costa Rica. Very pationne, symphatic guide. The visit is definitely worth it. Recommended!

💖 Highly recommended! ❤️ - What a truly wonderful experience! We feel so fortunate to have chosen this tour and to have had such a knowledgeable and engaging guide. Learning from an actual member of the indigenous tribe made it a very real and profound experience. Eliseo’s passion for what he does really shines through, and it made the whole day even more special. He gave us plenty of time to enjoy each part of the trip and answered all our questions with patience, kindness, and a big, welcoming sm
