Discovering Costa Rica Auténtica

Author: Karolina Magdalena

Costa Rica auténtica isn't just a project; it's a heartfelt journey into the soul of a nation, where the lives, cultures, and crafts of local Ticos take center stage. In a world increasingly homogenized by globalization, initiatives like Costa Rica auténtica remind us of the beauty and richness of preserving and promoting local traditions and artisans.

Embracing Indigenous Heritage: The Festival of Devils in Boruca

In the heart of Costa Rica lies Boruca, a community rich in indigenous heritage. Each year, the Festival of Devils (Fiesta de los Diablitos) encapsulates the spirit of resistance and cultural pride. Masked participants reenact ancient battles between indigenous Boruca people and Spanish conquistadors, showcasing traditional dances and handmade masks that tell stories of resilience and identity.

Sustainable Producers: Guardians of Nature

Costa Rica auténtica celebrates local producers of cacao and coconuts and the guardians of local bees called Mariolas. Imagine meeting local beekeepers dedicated to sustainable honey production and saving the bees, an indigenous cacao producer whose methods have been passed down for generations, or a local coconut product artisan creating the healthiest and most delicious flavors. These individuals nurture Costa Rica's biodiversity and traditional knowledge.
