Food and socialization
The Huetares worship the Sun and the Moon. To that end, they build altars and stone mounds. Also, they revere the bones of their ancestors. They bury the remains of the deceased along with various objects that belonged to them in life. This is just a bit we can tell you without giving everything away. Come and visit the Quitirrisí indigenous reserve with us, in the Mora region, Costa Rica!
The itinerery
After breakfast we go to the canton of Mora, south of San José, to meet the Huetar indigenous people, some 1,500 people spread on a large area divided into two territories: Quitirrisí and Zapatón.
We visit the inhabitants of Quitirrisí in order to get closer to their culture, their traditions and understand the activities they engage in, interacting with them.
We will have a chat in which our guests will explain to us how they have adapted to the current world while preserving their culture. Furthermore they will show us how they consume corn – essential for their diet – and how they use clay and arrows.
A return to the roots to understand who the original inhabitants of this land are
