Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
Campesino Farm Experience
Today, you will experience not only the typical Costa Rican lifestyle at a local Agro-ecological farm, but also learn about sustainable ways of planting and harvesting and of course do a lot of tasting. You will be picked up from your hotel and driven to a small town known as Agua Azul, located at 10 minutes from La Fortuna. Upon arrival you will be welcomed by the family and receive an informative explanation of the Farm’s main objectives, including promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and preserving Costa Rican Traditions. Learn how to milk the cows. Taste homemade liquor, chocolate, and fresh milk while you observe the “alambique”, the artisanal liquor distillation process. Participate in the sugar cane extraction to obtain a delicious juice and then try it alone, with spearmint, liquor, or other of the farm’s organic products. Visit a small archaeological ranch where you can observe some ancient indigenous pieces and put them to work in the artisanal process of making chocolate. Walk through and admire the orchid and medicinal plant gardens. After the tour, enjoy farm-fresh favorites like coffee, cheese, tortillas, hash, and others. Without a doubt, this is an experience filled with true Costa Rican culture, customs, delicacies and traditions that you will never forget. After your farm experience, your transfer will pick you up and take you back to your hotel.
