?️ Full Description

When you arrive, the family greets you in their kitchen with a refreshing natural juice and introductions. Then, take a stroll through the organic garden to learn about how they grow their food — and to pick the fresh ingredients that you'll use later.

Back in the kitchen, you'll make mojitos before diving into cooking a typical Costa Rican dish. You'll learn knife skills, cooking techniques, and local tips to bring out authentic flavors.

Once the food is ready, everyone sits down together — just like family — and enjoy the meal you’ve created. There may even be some surprise activities after the meal to make your experience unforgettable.
