Huge thank you to @mytanfeet for arranging this amazing experience!

San Rafael de Guatuso, Costa Rica - We had an honor to visit and learn from the Maleku Tribe in Costa Rica, and they invited us to try their local cuisine. It was an incredible experience and Im very excited to share it with you here!

Indigenous tribes in Costa Rica are the only people allowed to hunt in Costa Rica, just as theyve done for thousands of years. They are very much in tune with nature and they never hunt or damage nature in any unsustainable way. They use everything they get. Today they had an iguana, a common part of the Maleku people diet. The preparation was very simple - just boiled with cassava.

Additionally they also cooked fish wrapped in leaves and a banana leaf packet, then roasted in fire. And a whole chicken cooked with vegetables, and finally a roasted plantain mashed in water as a beverage - this is something they mentioned that every Maleku person drinks from kids to adults - part of their traditional nutrition.

It was an educational meal and really memorable to learn about the Maleku Tribe, original Costa Ricans and their traditional, often unseen, foods.

Again a huge thank you to Yeison and Samantha from @mytanfeet for arranging this entire experience.
