Bonanza 2027 / House rules
House rules
read these before you come
Bonanza happens in a working village, on a living river. These rules keep it that way, and keep the festival welcome here.
The four that matter
the ones people break
The river is not a bin
Nothing goes in the river that doesn’t come back out with you. No cans, no cigarette ends, no soap.
No photos, please
Be respectful to everyone.
It’s a village, not a resort
People live and work in Buritaca all year. Keep the noise and the mess inside the festival.
Park by the highway
A small car park sits just off the highway, shortly after the entrance to Río Hostel, for a small fee. Walk up from there or carry on by moto.
