ekoldi Indian Reservation Hike

Tour #CB

We will pick you up at your hotel and drive you in a microbus to the entrance of the Chimuri Private

Reservation where you will meet our local guide. Then you will hike through the reservation until you get

to the Kekoldi Indian Reserve. Our friendly guide will share from his vast knowledge of Bri Bri traditions,

daily life and mythology. During this walk he will show you medicinal and wild edible plants and fruits

that are traditionally used by the indigenous. You will also view materials used in the construction of

traditional huts: leaves used for the roofs, palm bark for walls and floors, wood and liana used for the

mooring and for the preparation of baskets.

You may well see coati, armadillo, agouti paca, sloth, and

snakes, and in the canopy of the trees you may see cariblancos monkeys. There is also an abundance

of birds such as toucans, aracaris, magpies, Tanagers, hummingbirds, parrots and hopefully some

guans. You may also see poisonous toads, insects, and reptiles.

When we get into the Indian Reserve

we will climb a tower on a 180 meter high hill. You will enjoy breathtaking views of Panama, the

Talamanca Mountains and the Caribbean Coast. During the months of migration you can see

thousands of raptors and migratory zopilotes which have their main route through this sector. After a

break we will take another route to our point of departure in the Chimuri private reservation. If wanted, a

typical indigenous lunch can be arranged for $5 per person with 2 days advance notice.
