Explore a remote Boruca tribal village

Borucas first created their elaborately carved wooden masks, known as “diablito” masks, or little devil masks, over 500 years ago with the intent of scaring away Spanish conquistadors. The colorful masks served their purpose, and they’ve been a point of tribal pride ever since. Spend a day with one of the last indigenous tribes in Costa Rica and uncover more of their rich cultural heritage.
