Farm-grown meals, riverside walks, real stories, and a grandmother’s kitchen under the trees. Share firewood-cooked meals made from farm-fresh ingredients, walk to a local river or hidden waterfall, and hear the real stories of rural Costa Rican life — from a grandmother who’s lived it. Just 40 minutes from Jacó, this countryside food and culture tour brings you into the village of Playón, where four generations of the Godínez family live side by side. You’ll eat in a rancho under macaw-filled trees, meet friendly rescued dogs, and be hosted by Doña Yuri — a cook, storyteller, and matriarch who grows most of what she serves. This is not a restaurant, and it’s more than just “traditional food.” It’s a chance to connect — with people, places and the real, hidden Costa Rica beyond the beaches and ziplines.

Jaco’s Wild Morning: Monkeys, Crocodiles and Local Flavors
2 to 3 hours
Free Cancellation
from
$80
TOUR DESCRIPTION Costa Rica is an excellent destination for adventure travel and the best way to see the fascinating landscape is on horseback, it has a great advantage of getting to remote places where you could not access by vehicle. Our well trained horses will take you through trails on the beach to the top of the mountain where there will be stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. WHAT TO WEAR We recommend that you wear comfortable clothes during the Horseback Riding tour, shoes are always recommended as well as long pants to help prevent from rashes. Some still use shorts but there is a great chance of getting rashes from the movement from the saddle. Depending on the time you choose to ride horseback it may be hot and a hat would be perfect. (We recommend early morning / afternoon for the sunset, best times to ride!)
