Guaymi Tribe
The Guaymi can be found in the remote southern region of Costa Rica, bordering with Panama. Their language is "Ngäbere," of which there are some 200,000 speakers today, mostly in Panama. Many cross into Costa Rica during the coffee season (November and December) to pick coffee beans. They are known for crafting brightly colored dresses (called "nagua" in their language), bags made from plant fibers and beaded bracelets and necklaces. Their chief Urraca was greatly feared by the Spanish as a fierce warrior.
