Descendants of Chorotega Indians

by kyoub - last update: Jun 10, 2006

Tranquil village

Even the cows are contented in the little village of Guaitil. The main attraction here is the ethnic pottery. The women have been making it the same way for generations, with clay dug from the hills nearby.

Pottery for sale

They have their pottery on display on roadside racks and tables. Some are on display in their homes. Just stop and browse. You are sure to see a few pieces that you cannot live without. I bought a piece that was shaped like a turtle.

A great conversation piece made by the Chorotega Indian women.

 I really like the sound of that shower, and the lodge's restaurant :) Great bird photos too and the pottery looks interesting

 Another delightful group of tips, Kay. I, too, really like the looks of the turtle pottery. The lake, waterfall, birds all make for a lovely vacation spot.
