The Diquis culture (sometimes spelled Diquís) was a pre-Columbian indigenous culture of Costa Rica that flourished from AD 700 to 1530.[1] The word "diquís" means "great waters" or "great river" in the Boruca language.[1] The Diquis formed part of the Greater Chiriqui culture that spanned from southern Costa Rica to western Panama.[2]
