Discover authentic Costa Rican culture through food in the rural community of Bolsón. Visit a local family-owned restaurant that has been operated by three generations of the same family for more than 35 years. Here, you'll experience a genuine farm-to-table tradition and learn how local ingredients become part of everyday Costa Rican cuisine. Your hosts will show you the traditional process of preparing corn for tortillas, from the grain to the dough. Then, roll up your sleeves and make your own traditional Costa Rican tortilla by hand! Taste your freshly made tortilla and enjoy it with a delicious cup of Costa Rican coffee while connecting with your local hosts. This hands-on experience offers a meaningful glimpse into Costa Rican traditions, food, family, and rural life—far beyond the typical tourist experience.

Your guide will share fascinating insights about the animals, their behaviour, and the importance of this unique ecosystem.
