Hunters & Gatherers

Experience the flavor and culture of Costa Rica as you cook up a tasty local-style meal and enjoy an unforgettable evening of good food in La Fortuna. Arrive at your Costa Rica Cooking Class, located near the enchanting El Salto waterfall close to downtown La Fortuna. Admire the garden and farm where the fresh ingredients are grown and hear the story behind the food from your expert chef. Start your evening by mixing up a delicious homemade tropical Costa Rican cocktail or "jungle juice." Then, with the help of your chef, start cooking some Tico-style picadillos, tortillas, and guisados for a delicious sit-down meal and plenty of captivating conversation. After dinner, relax with your group for a cup of coffee before heading home.

The best way to learn about a new culture is to learn about what the locals eat. Costa Rica has an amazing cuisine that is healthy, natural, and actually very easy to learn how to cook. Take some of the best local recipes back home with you after this cooking experience. These cooking classes are a great way to get to know other travelers and hang out with a knowledgeable local chef. As soon as you finish cooking, you will be able to sit down to the delicious meal you helped cook up and chat about the "Pura Vida" of Costa Rica. Make sure you have brought your dancing shoes to Costa Rica, because next up you will head to the dance floor to learn how to dance to latin beats. There is no better way to spend an evening in La Fortuna than cooking, eating, and dancing like a local.
