  The Borucas, one of many Costa Rican indigenous group, are still living in a South Pacific region, territory they have inhabited since pre-Columbian time.
  Mask curving is a Boruca traditional since Colonial times, masks are part of the garments used for "El Juego de los diablitos" (Devil's game) celebrated t the end of each year.
  On this occasion, all participants curve their own mask, witch is later discarded once the festivity over.
  Festival is between 30 of Dec- 2nd of Jan. It consist dance and games in witch the bull and masked man participate.

  A little difficult to find - a long and winding road uphill. Knowing some Spanish language is very helpful both to find the museum, and to interact with the helpers there. The merchandise that is here can also be found sometimes at the local Farmers Markets.

  Cool to see some information about the Boruca people and what they are doing to maintain their culture and self-sufficiency in the modern world. There is a small shop with items produced by members of the town, all traditionally made masks or cloth items. It's a long drive up a dirt road, it will kind of feel like you went the wrong way Then viola! You're there.

  Contiene explicación de la historia, costumbres y tradiciones desde antaño. Así como una maqueta geográfica y un espacio con artesanías a la venta creadas por miembros de la comunidad Boruca. No puede irse de ahí sin visitar El Museo.
