Bribri, located on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica, is one of the country's most important aboriginal settlements and is part of the province of Limón. With the Bribri tribe at its core, it is a living microcosm of Central American aboriginal civilization, preserving its distinctive language, traditional handicrafts (such as palm weaving, natural dyes, and textiles), and a culture of nature worship. Surrounded by lush rainforest and rich biodiversity, visitors can experience eco-hikes with indigenous guides and learn about traditional knowledge such as cacao and medicinal plants.
