learning about their attempt to repopulate iguanas into the area is really cool! But the best part is after the tour hanging out with the locals and eating a typical BriBri meal with them and listening to stories. A very magical place.

Viewing the iguana project and hearing about the importance of preservation is only a small part of the experience. we also had a delicious jungle meal, heard a Bribri creation story and had a small glimpse into the lives and culture of the Bribri

This is a rural but welcoming tour. No fancy shops or performances. Our guide was quite knowledgable about the flora, fauna, and culture of the BriBri people. The iguana restoration was quite interesting. The hike to the viewing tower included many bird species, a poison dart frog, bullet ants, a sloth, and many great cultural/historical stories. We tasted plants along the way and learned about medicinal uses and ritual practices. When we left, we were invited back as friends, not tourists.

The guide Alex is super gifted at explaining the magic of the trees, plants and spotting animals of all kinds. Plus he speaks 4 languages!

This is a very nice place to visit to get away from the local parties and other tourist traps and add some genuine culture to your trip! The people here are so kind and happy to have you visit their reserve. They have an Iguana rescue area, complete with some of the most serious guard-turkeys you will ever encounter. Learn about the Kekoldi people and their efforts to keep their tradional lifestyle at their reserve just outside of Puerto Viejo central.
