| From Puerto Viejo the paved road (Hwy-36) continues inland to BRIBRÍ
, about 10km southwest, arching over the Salamanca foothills with views
of the green valleys stretching ahead to Panamá. This is banana country,
with little to see even in Bribrí itself, which is largely devoted to
administering the affairs of indigenous reserves in the Talamanca
mountains. Bribrí does, however, have one basic place to stay , Cabinas
El Mango (no phone; up to US$5), a couple of simple restaurants and a
bank , the Banco Nacional, which changes money and travellers' cheques.
