We will show you our peasant pharmacy and the plants we use for some diseases, then with some of these plants we will make a delicious sugarcane juice together with some roots and plants that were collected during the tour. Once we have everything we need, we will go to the kitchen to prepare a typical Costa Rican dinner together, where they will learn how to cook with us and where they will be able to make tortillas with their own hands.

AMAZING!! One of the absolute best things we did in all of Costa Rica! - This experience was absolutely amazing!! Fantastic farm tour and we learned a lot. We loved tasting the fresh sugar cane juices. The traditional cooking class in their family home on their farm was the highlight! This family is so kind and very enjoyable to be around! They were also so good to us and treated our daughter so well too, very family friendly and understanding for our young baby/toddler also! The food was so delicious and we took home some valuable skills back to our home! We are now back home and were so proud of ourselves to make a delicious Costa Rican dish back at home using the skills we learned here and it tasted so good! We can't recommend this experience enough! Such a memorable birthday and we will never forget it!

Wonderful lunch with amazing hosts - An amazing family fun experience. The family is wonderful and Humberto and his brother gave an amazing tour of the farm and were so knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to spend time with them and would I highly recommend this experience. Great for couples, family and groups.

Don't miss out on an extremely memorable experience! - We loved our tour of the family farm and the cooking class of a typical Costa Rican dinner!
Hubert was very knowledgeable of the area, and all the flora and fauna we saw and heard throughout the evening. The fresh sugar cane juice was delicious, especially with added herbs from the garden. We had never made handmade tortillas before, but we loved every minute. We ate dinner with them and engaged in welcome and intriguing conversations in both English and Spanish. It was extremely memorable, and we enjoyed getting to know Hubert and his mother as they shared their garden, kitchen, and home with us!
If you're on the fence about booking this tour, we can assure you it will be worth your while!

Best cooking class - This was one of our favourite experiences in Costa Rica. Our host Huberth was knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable. We enjoyed touring the farm and the variety of vegetables and herbs grown here and then collecting them and cooking them. It's always amazing to see the process of growing food and the hard work that goes behind it - something we take for granted all the time. Huberth was able to take our dietary preferences in consideration and we prepared a delicious meal and enjoyed it together. Thank you for the amazing experience.

Pura Vida! - Huberth was an amazing host!
His pride in his family's farm was evident as he showed us around the farm. We got to whip up a tasty concoction of sugar cane and some of the medicinal herbs growing in the garden and then learned about traditional cooking as we made chicken, rice, beans, and a salad from the garden. We even got to try some homemade chocolate for dessert.

Wonderful tour, food & garden! - Excellent tour of the garden, excellent meal. Our guide seemed excited to talk about all the different plants grown in the garden (and there were lots! Basil, stevia, cilantro, lemongrass, anise, mustard, sugarcane, salad greens among many others), and we learned a lot. We used these plants to make a juice & cook a meal afterward, which was all really satisfying to do (and the end results were delicious!). It really was the type of experience that would inspire anyone to have a big garden in the future 😄
Our guide was very friendly and did a great job explaining things and answering questions. The chef we cooked alongside with helped us perfect our tortilla-making technique, and seemed to enjoy our involvement in the cooking process. I VERY highly recommend that everyone try this tour, not just the foodies!
