Studio of Fran Vásquez
On the road between Bribrí and Cahuita, just north of the Sixaola turn-off, find the studio of this self-taught folk painter whose colorful acrylic landscapes are well known in Puerto Viejo and San José. Look for a brightly painted sign outside a small, one-story house with chickens in the yard.

Restaurante Kaya Chökök Mlas Mlas
A pleasant 2nd-story terrace restaurant located near the Banco Nacional, this place serves up superdelicious cooking, including lightly crisp fish in garlic sauce as well as the delectably carnivorous ‘Arroz Kaya’ (₡ 2500) – a steaming pile of fried rice studded with bacon, ham, chicken and steak, and served with salad and fried plantains. Don’t miss the searing pickled chili vegetables, which is an ideal meal in case you need to clear your sinuses.

Restaurante Bribrí
Run by the helpful Carlos and Miriam, this busy restaurant serves casados, chicken with rice, fried plantains and gallos (an open-faced taco). But it’s also an excellent place to ask about tours to indigenous villages, where local guides lead hikes and boat rides through the area’s jungle and rivers.

Aiko-logi
Nestled into the Talamanca Mountains, 2km outside the village (just beyond the Volio waterfall), is a private 135-hectare reserve centered around the site of what was once a small finca, on a piece of land fringed with dense primary rainforest. It’s an ideal spot for bird-watching, hiking and splashing around in crisp, clean swimming holes. Day tours from Puerto Viejo and Cahuita can be arranged, as can overnight stays at Aiko-logi’s tent platform. This is a small outfit; reserve ahead.
