Chietón Morén Museo y Mercadito de Artesanías

This Indigenous Tour in Costa Rica Will Teach You How to Help Our Planet

"A combined museum and market whose name means “fair deal” in the Boruca language showcases and sells hundreds of ceramics, masks and textiles made by more than 250 Indigenous artists while also presenting sobering exhibits about shrinking territories and endangered languages. The displays highlight that of the country’s eight remaining Indigenous populations only four still speak living languages (two of which are in revival), and two historic groups are already extinct, giving visitors both a lively place to buy authentic crafts and a thoughtful introduction to cultural survival." - Tim Neville
