All the Boruca Masks are born from the traditional ceremony of the Boruca Indigenous Territory known as “Cabrú rójc or Game of the Little Devils”. Origin of the celebration Boruca Day of celebration December 30 to January 2. Celebrated since the conquest of Costa Rica The game of the little devils of Boruca (Cagrúv rójc, in the Brunka language) is a traditional festivity of the Boruca culture, an indigenous people of Costa Rica, which takes place between December 30 and January 2 of each year, in the community of Boruca, and the first weekend of February, in the town of Rey Curré, the two main settlements of Boruca indigenous people, located in the canton of Buenos Aires de Puntarenas. This celebration is characterized by dances and games in which people with traditional Boruca masks take part, who resemble Warriors, representing the Boruca indigenous people, and another person disguised as a bull, representing the Spanish conquerors. The game of little devils was declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Costa Rica in 2017. Its origin dates back to the conquest of Costa Rica by the Spanish, and it is considered one of the main festivities of the Boruca people. The fiesta of the little devils is the cultural activity with the greatest participation and enthusiasm among the inhabitants of Boruca and other Bribri, Cabécares and Térrabas indigenous communities. Currently, this celebration captures the attention of non-indigenous visitors from the Central Valley, San Isidro del General, Buenos Aires and other towns in the southern zone of Costa Rica. Together with the elaboration of handicrafts with traditional techniques and the belief in a mythical character called Cuasrán, the game of little devils is one of the three most significant elements of Boruca identity.
