Food is a delicious shortcut to a country’s culture. This traditional cooking lesson begins with a guided visit to La Finquita (Little Farm), where you will experience the land-to-table process firsthand. After harvesting seasonal produce, you will prepare a traditional Costa Rican dish alongside local hosts.

Depending on the time of day, the lesson will focus on breakfast, snacks, or lunch favorites. Dish options may include palm-made corn tortillas, gallo pinto, picadillos, patacones, cassava chips, pico de gallo salsa, and more. Each recipe allows you to explore Costa Rican flavors, ingredients, and culinary techniques, so you can bring out the Tico chef in you and recreate these dishes at home.
