Yorkín Indigenous Community: 2 Day Tour

Day 1: Bribri - Yorkín Indigenous Community

On the first day, we'll meet at 9 am in the Bribri Talamanca Indigenous Territory. We will board a canoe and sail for approximately one and a half hours to the shore near the indigenous community of Yorkín. From there, we will walk for about 15 minutes to the village.

Upon arrival, members of the community will welcome us and offer snacks before we proceed to the ranch for the night's stay. A guided tour of the village will follow, focusing on the local lifestyle and environmental projects.

Participants will learn about cocoa preparation, making a jícara, and tasting chocolate.

After a night in nature, we will have a traditional breakfast before exploring the area's medicinal plants and their health benefits. An archery class will follow, teaching us how to use this ancient weapon. We will then walk to the Panamanian area of the Yorkín River to visit a waterfall for swimming before lunch.

We will conclude our tour by returning to the meeting point in Bribri at around 3 pm.
