Pura Vida Cooking Class in La Fortuna from Farm to Table

Stop at: La Finquita from Farm to Table
Details: Enjoy a culinary experience that highlights the authentic flavors of Costa Rican cuisine at La Finquita Farm, an ecological farm that applies sustainable agricultural techniques and promotes the responsible use of natural resources. Its plantations grow products such as cassava, plantain, sugarcane, corn, and various vegetables, which are an essential part of the experience. The activity begins with a guided tour of the farm, where participants will learn about the cultivation process and harvest fresh, seasonal ingredients directly from the garden. These ingredients will later be used to prepare a traditional recipe: “gallina achiotada”, a typical Costa Rican dish. During the class, participants will learn how to prepare this dish as well as handmade tortillas, using techniques passed down through generations. Each step reflects the connection between the land, local traditions, and the authentic flavors of the country. At the end, participants will enjoy the results of their work, surrounded by the peaceful rural landscape and the serene atmosphere of the farm.
