Getaway to Costa Rica - Connected to the land

Description    

Evidence of human existence in Costa Rica dates back more than 10,000 years. The Bribri tribe was the first to inhabit what is now Costa Rica. Their efforts to maintain their original language, traditions and independence firmly linked to a totally self-sufficient life in the jungle are truly exceptional. Their social system is also remarkable, with matriarchy playing a fundamental role, as well as an interest in the wisdom of nature, which they have carried into their daily lives. The Bribri's natural respect for nature was even adopted by the foreigners who settled permanently in Costa Rica, and whose stories are also part of this documentary. Nature itself dominated them, and they learned to listen to it, understand it and perceive it naturally. It unconsciously acts as a guide for all of us on how to treat our home, to ensure that its life is not extinguished.
