Quitirrisí

Quitirrisí is the seventh district of the Mora canton, in the San José province of Costa Rica.

[4] Handcrafted chests, hats and hammocks can be found and purchased in many indigenous-owned stores everywhere in the district.

[5] The name of the district comes from the indigenous territory of Quitirrisí, which in turn comes from two trees well-known in the area, Quitirrí (Lasianthaea friticosa), that blooms annually in the mountains, and Risí, equally common in local flora.

[citation needed] Huetar is one of the twenty four indigenous territories of Costa Rica, legally established through the executive order no.

Some of the indigenous people produce artisanal products such as basketry and natural dyes, but mainly they work in the city.
