Puerto Viejo: Bribri Indigenous Culture & Cacao Workshop｜Costa Rica

Discover the rich traditions of the Bribri indigenous community in Talamanca through an authentic chocolate-making experience.

Join a local guide and learn the entire cacao process from seed to cup. Enjoy a guided walk through the family’s property, surrounded by lush rainforest, where you will roast the cacao beans, and grind them by hand using traditional tools. Finally, taste your own handmade chocolate while learning about the cultural and spiritual importance of cacao in Bribri traditions.

This is more than a tour — it’s a meaningful cultural connection with one of Costa Rica’s oldest indigenous communities.
