The
tour for today is unique. We are not selling this tour except
for large and specific groups because of its complexity. 10
days in advance we have to go to Cachabri requesting a permission
to take the passengers there. And we have to wait until the
headquarters authorize the visit.
Today passengers will have a visit to Amubri,
Bribri and Cachabri Indian Village located 3 hours from Almonds
& Corals, going into the Talamanca Mountain Range. With
the private bus, passengers will get to Sixaola River, here
we will transfer them by boat to the other side of the river.
Our van will pick up the people at the hotel
at 7:00 a.m. At 9:00 a.m. they will catch the public bus that
Indians use to be transferred to Amubri, as we ride along
the road, we will see the every day life of the community.
We will see cocoa plantations, bananas, thatch roofed huts,
chicken, pigs, dogs and the simplicity of life of this people.
We arrive to Amubri and then to Cachabri on the bus after
45 minutes driving time and at Cachabri we will be met by
an AWA (Indigenous medicine man). He will take us to the “USURE”
which is the conical thatch building that they use for ceremonies
and he will tell us about their traditions, their beliefs
and about some rituals that they perform. |
Your guide will translate you
the information. Right by the “USURE” there is
the OROWE, another construction, this one for social meetings.
After this introduction we will walk to their botanical garden
at about half hour walking distance from the village, and
the AWA himself will explain about the purpose of the garden,
about the different plants they use for the different cases
and about the preparation of them. On the way back to the
village, we will see the big flat stone they use to grind
their grains and we will hear the story about bringing this
one from the river. We will return to the OROWE for a picnic
box lunch.
At 2:00p.m. passengers must catch the public
bus back to the Sixaola river and then back to Almonds &
Corals. On the way back we will visit the Iguana Project from
the Bribri Indians also. Passengers will be arriving back
to their hotels around 5:30 p.m.
