The original people of Costa Rica were diverse indigenous tribes, each with their own unique cultures and traditions. Tribes such as the Chorotega, Boruca, Bribri, and Cabécar, among others, thrived across the country, each fostering distinct languages, social structures, and spiritual beliefs. Their deep connection with nature, impressive art and architecture, and community-oriented societies laid the foundations of Costa Rica’s rich cultural tapestry. Today, their influence is seen in various facets of Costa Rican life, from its artistic expressions to its enduring respect for the environment.
