      This was one of our favorite activities in La Fortuna! Kathy was such a fun and knowledgeable teacher, and we had such a great time preparing and enjoying our meal together! Our favorite parts were making the cocktail (which we then ordered at every opportunity for the rest of our trip), and making our own tortillas! The facility was beautiful and clean, as well! Highly recommend!

      We loved this experience! They picked us up and took us to a cozy kitchen area open to the outdoors. We made a drink, chicken, tortillas, a veggie dish. Kathy was a wonderful host who answered all our questions! Definitely would recommend this experience.

      We had a wonderful time learning and cooking Costa Rican food. Our chef was great at answering any question our group had about certain parts of the dish and the impact it has on Costa Rican culture. The food was delicious and overall was a fun and relaxing activity, especially since the majority of our other activities were hiking related.
