Overview

This tour is NOT done inside Manuel Antonio National Park.

A farm-to-table experience of our local cuisine

First stop at the local farmers’ market in Quepos, where you will have the opportunity to browse the stands and pick out ingredients for your lunch with the guide’s assistance. Once in the small town of Londres, at our private ranch and dining area, you will be greeted by our team and guided through the farm. Explore our organic garden, feed by our own compost, and feel free to pick something that appeals to you to add to your meal. Interact with the animals hosted at the farm: rabbits, goats, ponies, sheep, chickens, bulls, and horses. Participate in the kitchen and experience the process of making corn tortillas by hand, exotic ceviches with plantain or banana, rice cooked the old-fashioned way, chicken in a hearty tomato sauce, picadillos (minced meats and veggies and spices combined), and more. Once you sit down for your meal, not only will your appetite be satiated but also your curiosity about Costa Rican local flavors. Let your imagination soar on how to recreate at home with your own seasonal ingredients. 

There is leisure time available for you to explore the ranch, and walk down to the Naranjo River where, weather permitting, you can take a refreshing dip.

Important:

  • Menus created depends on seasonal ingredients.

The experience is simple yet complete and well guided. We pickup veggy from the garden, prepare them to be integrate in a complete and typical lunch. With all explanation about how to harvest and prep these veggy and meal, how costarican eat and sustain themself. Great tour, better then expected
