Begin your tasting session in a carefully selected local setting, where food is not treated as a spectacle, but as part of everyday life in Costa Rica. You’ll meet your local host and a small group of fellow travelers before starting a guided tasting of 33 traditional Costa Rican foods, paired with local drinks. This experience is designed for curious eaters — no cooking skills required, just an appetite to understand how people in San José actually eat. As you taste, your host explains what each item is, when locals eat it, and why it matters culturally. You’ll learn details that rarely show up on menus or food tours, helping you decode Costa Rican cuisine far beyond restaurants. The rhythm is relaxed and social. There’s time to ask questions, compare flavors, take candid photos, and enjoy the moment without rushing from stop to stop. You leave with a deeper understanding of Costa Rica food culture, real memories to share, and the confidence of our 5-star money-back guarantee.
