Cook with a Local Family + Rainforest Night Walk: An Authentic Costa Rican Evening in La Fortuna.
Step into a local home, taste the real flavors of Costa Rica, and end your night with a magical jungle walk under the stars.
+Farm Tour & Harvest
We begin with a short walk through our family farm, where you’ll learn about native crops like plantain, yuca, cilantro, tomatoes, medicinal herbs, and more. You’ll even pick some fresh ingredients straight from the soil—just like we do every day.
+Make Fresh Sugar Cane Juice
Next, we’ll show you how to make fresh sugar cane juice the traditional way. It’s fun, and hands-on, and yes—you get to try a sweet shot of your hard work once it’s ready!
+Traditional Costa Rican Cooking Class
Now, it’s time to cook! Together we’ll prepare classic dishes like:
-Casado (rice, beans, salad, plantains, protein)
-Seasonal veggie picadillos
-Handmade tortillas from scratch—get your hands in the masa and learn the old-school way
We cook, share stories, laugh, and create memories—just like a real Tico family dinner.
+Guided Night Walk in the Rainforest
After our meal, grab a flashlight and follow us into the nearby rainforest for a guided night tour. As the jungle comes alive after dark, you’ll experience the sounds and sights of:
-Colorful frogs (like the red-eyed tree frog)
-Insects and nocturnal critters
-Sleeping birds and the quiet magic of the forest
It’s a peaceful and eye-opening end to a beautiful evening.
This isn’t just a class or a tour—it’s an evening of culture, flavor, and nature all in one. Whether you're looking for something unique, meaningful, or just incredibly fun—this is it.
