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.
