Costa Rica Descens Ecological Agriculture
It’s uncommon these days to get a firsthand look at the farming process. The main purpose of our farm tours is to let you see the origins of what we eat, instead of just seeing it appear in stores. Our farmers will gladly cooperate with you to plan a farm tour that aligns with your group’s theme.
We are thrilled to open our farm to you in a manner that caters to your group’s interests. Listed below are some examples of group tour themes to give you an idea of what a visit to the farm may entail.
Focus on local crops production and distribution, highlighting seasonality, timings for different crop growth, and our distribution strategy.
Medicinal Plants; Detailing the ancient tradition of using plants for medicinal purposes. As a natural defence, plants produce hundreds of chemical compounds to protect against insects, fungus, disease, and herbivorous animals.

Must try cooking class - The owners were super friendly, they showed us their farm and really took time to explain us the different ingredients. The cooking in itself was amazing we cooked empanadas and ceviche from A to Z and the food was delicious!

Excellent family cooking class - Melania and Warner made this a very enjoyable experience. We made ceviche, empanadas, and patacones over a wood fired stove. They were super friendly, involved everyone, and made us feel like welcomed guests. Fun for all ages!

A blast for families - Family of 4, kids ages 10 and 12. We had a blast on the level 2&3 rapids - plenty of adrenaline, and laughs. The package included a lunch afterwards, and a tour of the small farm. They definitely put a lot of thought into hosting a really good experience. Oscar Parra lead our raft, clearly loves what he does, had us laughing and was great with the kids. Highly recommended, probably the highlight of our whole trip.

Rafting with Warner - We went rafting and it was so much fun! At first, we were very scared and did not want to go. But Warner took great care of us and made us feel safe and comfortable. If you are in doubt please ask for Warner because he is the best!!!

So fun and everything included! - I highly recommend doing the rafting with Costa Rica descents. This is much more of a family business type of place and they do everything for a great price. They do pickups and have a parking lot if you’re driving. The rafting itself was amazing, as well as the included lunch afterwards and the coffee and drinks they also provide that are all included. Jean Carlos was an amazing host who was very funny and informative. Also our tour guide chris was awesome. Highly recommend them over other rafting companies.

Amazing and authentic cooking experience - We absolutely loved our cooking class with Melanie. We had an amazing tour of the garden and learnt about all the different foods grown at the farm. The food was delicious and we loved learning from Melanie! Thanks for a great evening and would definitely recommend!
