Experience Details

There is something special about having an authentic experience while traveling abroad. Cultures identify themselves through their cuisine and Costa Ricans are no different -- and it's not just "rice and beans..." We invite you to have a delightful, local-style meal and enjoy what will probably be your most-memorable meal in Costa Rica! You'll have the opportunity to learn how to mix our favorite Costa Rican cocktail the "Kiss of the Cacique" and then prepare a full traditional Costa Rican casado meal, complete with "pollo sudado," "picadillo," handmade tortillas and much more!

Sample Menu

MAIN
Casado
You’ll be gathering all of the farm fresh ingredients and chopping up vegetables from local providers and creating a delicious “Casado” meal.

To get started, you'll try your hand at mixing up a delicious homemade tropical Costa Rican cocktail — our famous Kiss of the Cacique! You will then get ready to learn how to cook up some Tico-style "picadillos," tortillas and "guisados" for a delicious sit-down “Casado” meal and plenty of captivating conversation! After dinner, relax with a cup of coffee, share some recipes and head back to your hotel to dream about the scrumptious Tico food you'll recreate back home!
