Experience Details

This is not a cooking class or a typical food tour, it’s a delicious, eye-opening journey through Costa rica’s extraordinary biodiversity, guided by a local fruit lover.


If you opt for the full experience, your day begins at one of San Jose’s bustling markets, where your host will select and open fruits you’ve probably never seen before. Want to skip the walk? No problem — the tasting alone is just as immersive.


As you taste, you’ll discover:


Nutritional properties and healing uses


Indigenous and colonial histories


Seasonal patterns and farming traditions


Culinary secrets from Central America


From tangy to creamy, sweet to earthy, this tasting experience invites you to rediscover fruit the Costa Rican way.
