Cultural Excursions from Sierpe
(Spheres, Boruca Indigenous Village & More)

Sierpe de Osa is full of cultural experiences! We are home to the Sphere Museum (an UNESCO World Heritage Site) along with several other nearby archaeological sites like ‘El Silencio’ which is home to the largest sphere found to date in Costa Rica and the ‘Parque de Esferas’ in Palmar Sur. The Boruca village is only about 1 hour away where visitors can have a traditional lunch, take part in making a mini mask or buy a beautiful professionally made mask, which is a wonderful work of art to take home (and very light weight). We would love to customize the day for you.
Here are some ideas for private tours for you and your family or group:

Full Day in Boruca: Private Guided day tour with visit to the local Boruca Museum, traditional lunch, mask making workshop (watch carving and option to paint your own), traditional dye and fabric weaving demonstration, informative talks, time to shop for unique handmade souvenirs (masks, jewelry, and other hand painted works of art) and quick trip to nearby waterfall.

Spheres and Boruca Day: A visit to the official UNESCO Sphere Museum near Sierpe in Finca 6 and to other nearby archaeological sites (time permitting) and up to Boruca for your choice of activities (mask making demonstration, mask painting, traditional lunch, dye and weaving demonstration, shopping and / or visit to the Boruca Waterfall).

Spheres and Kayak Tour: A visit to the sphere museum with a guide and then kayak back to Sierpe (or vice versa depending on the tides) via the canal Estero Azul, famous for it’s plethora of wildlife!

Spheres, Waterfalls and Boruca Day: A special treat. We are working with a local guide to show you the best secrets spots in Boruca. Combine this waterfall tour with any of the archaeological stops (museum, sphere park and / or El Silencio) and enjoy a few hours swimming at waterfalls (accessible via easy hike to the first one).
