About Us

Our History and Commitment

At Aventuras Naturales Yorkin, our history is deeply intertwined with the Bribri indigenous community. Founded in 1996 by twenty-one Bribri families, the Association of Organic Producers “El Chumú” aimed to improve the quality of life of organic banana producers through increased production and sales. After eight years of organic banana production efforts, we decided to establish a new association focused on tourism and sustainable agriculture.
Thus, the Association for Tourism, Development, and Organic Agriculture Yorkin was born, currently composed of eighteen families.

Our purpose is to dignify and enhance the well-being of the people of Yorkin through production diversification and the development of Community-based Rural Tourism. We use tourism as a tool for nature conservation and the preservation of our traditions. We invite visitors to discover ancestral practices in organic agriculture, cacao preparation, palm leaf weaving, crafting with natural materials, archery, and ancient songs dedicated to the earth, corn, cacao, and nature. During our magical forest hikes, our guides will share the secrets of the mountains, serving as wise custodians of our indigenous cultural heritage.
