Boruca Art

"The Boruca culture of Costa Rica is currently represented by two territories called Rey Curré and Boruca, both located in the southern part of our country. In both territories masks are made, which are a work of art that implies a series of skills and knowledge that make these Borucas artisans proud of their culture and history, because making a mask not only involves molding ideas into a piece of balso, cedar or espavel, it is also knowing other things such as the phases of the moon in which it is favorable to cut the wood, the type of tree, and even the occasional belief still preserved by its indigenous ancestors.
