Yorkín Indigenous Community: 2 Day Tour

Day 1: Bribi - Yorkín Indigenous Community

On the first day, we meet at 9 am in the Bribri Talamanca Indigenous Territory. We will board a canoe for about an hour and a half to the shore near the indigenous community of Yorkín. After a 15-minute walk, we will reach the village, where community members will welcome us with snacks and guide us to our accommodation for the night. A guided village tour follows, where we will learn about local life and environmental projects. We will also observe the cocoa preparation process and make a jícara to taste the chocolate.

After a night in nature, we will have a traditional breakfast before exploring local medicinal plants. An archery class will provide hands-on experience with this ancient skill.

We will return to the meeting point in Bribri, concluding the tour around 3 pm.
