Living among the Indians of Bribris Yorkin
February 17, 2010
I was often asked info on staying with the Indians of Bribris Yorkin, that's it, I did, I tell you:
Depart Bambu village which lies along the Rio Sixaola , 10 kms after Bribri ( and not, as reported by the Lonely Planet , who sometimes had better check his sources, and between Cahuita Puerto Viejo ).
A Bambu, so we got into a motor boat, go down the river during the Sixaola 1 km, then take the right, a tributary called the Rio Yorkin .
There is already an enchantment, magic, the incredible forest surrounding you, this magnificent river that carries the canoe, broad, shallow, clear, as it has not rained for a long time in places some not very wicked fast, the bottom of the canoe scrapes a little rocky,
it may take a few passengers take to the water (knee) for relief, so the water level is low.
After an hour and some travel, we arrived in Yorkin, making contact with the family of Indians who hosts us, coffee and banana cake, check into the magnificent wooden hut and palms, and then lunch, " casado classic.
the afternoon, tour plantations and the Indian community, the garden of medicinal plants or fruit, demonstration of the process of making chocolate, with of course tasting and demonstration of gourd carving, introduction to shooting with a longbow, a small cooking classes with local ingredients, and dinner, a small introduction to
Bribri dialect, it goes to sleep under mosquito nets in beds rather comfortable, although small significant exception to the authenticity of the rooms have showers and toilets !
After a great night, up and round the garden to admire the many birds, breakfast, and departure to the " Catarata ", which is in Panamanian territory , cross the river Yorkin, 10 min walk and it is the first waterfall, a small but pretty, popular bath, fresh water when it's hot, it's good!
20 min walking in the forest and more, and you get to a second waterfall, then return.
Return to the lodge restaurant, lunch, still as good, and is already the beginning, we take the canoe, a new crossing of enchanting landscapes, passing photos of various water birds, a sloth rescue in jeopardy on a rock wall bordering the river, we're back to Bambu, the car ahead of us, we leave the dream is the hardest time!
