| description | This article reflects, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the social and cultural practices of the traditional medicine of the Bribri and Cabécares native peoples of Costa Rica in dealing with contagious diseases. In order to accomplish this objective, we reviewed bibliographic sources in Anthropology, Linguistics and History, but above all, we reviewed again the interviews we had done for many years, to various the people dedicated to medicine in the indigenous Bribri and Cabecar towns. All this has allowed us to discover that many social and cultural practices, which still prevail in the Bribri and Cabecar native peoples, hide a complex system of medical concepts and protocols, which guarantee a know-how and a knowledge of how to act in the face of contagious diseases. Concepts such as quarantine, isolation, family or communal, being careful not to touch certain objects, appear with total clarity, in a conception of the world that privileges reflection on health and illness. |

Este artículo reflexiona, en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19, sobre las prácticas sociales y culturales de la medicina tradicional de los pueblos originarios bribri y cabécares de Costa Rica para enfrentar las enfermedades contagiosas. Para lograr este objetivo, revisamos fuentes bibliográficas en antropología, lingüística e historia, pero sobre todo, volvimos a revisar las entrevistas que habíamos realizado durante muchos años a varios a médicos de los pueblos originarios, bribris y cabécares. Todo ello nos ha permitido descubrir que, muchas prácticas sociales y culturales, que prevalecen aún en estos dos pueblos originarios, esconden un complejo sistema de conceptos y protocolos médicos, que garantizan un saber hacer y un saber actuar ante enfermedades contagiosas. Conceptos como cuarentena, aislamiento, familiar o comunal, el tener cuidado de no tocar ciertos objetos, aparecen con total nitidez, en una concepción de mundo que privilegia la reflexión sobre la salud y la enfermedad. Este artigo é uma reflexão, no contexto da pandemia COVID-19, sobre as práticas sociais e culturais para enfrentar doenças contagiosas da medicina tradicional dos povos nativos Bribri e Cabécar da Costa Rica. Para alcançar esse objetivo, revisamos fontes bibliográficas em antropologia, linguística e história, e, principalmente, revisitamos entrevistas que realizamos com vários médicos desses povos ao longo dos anos. Tudo isso nos permitiu descobrir que muitas práticas sociais e culturais que ainda prevalecem entre os Bribri e os Cabécar, escondem um complexo sistema de conceitos e protocolos médicos e garantem um saber-fazer e um saber-atuar frente às doenças contagiosas. Conceitos como quarentena, isolamento familiar ou da comunidade, ter cuidado de não tocar determinados objetos, aparecem claramente em uma concepção de mundo que privilegia a reflexão sobre a saúde e a doença.
