Follow underground trails into a series of remarkable grottoes and chambers on this Venado Caves tour from La Fortuna. Gear up and follow your flashlight along an ancient seabed as you explore the caves with your guide, checking out formations and bristling stalactites and stalagmites. Visit a bat colony that thrives in the cool, dark cave system, then return to the surface to enjoy a snack of tropical fruits.

Enjoy panoramic views of the Chachagua Forest Reserve and the guide will be able to take photographs of different animals, including birds and sloths. The tour also includes a short walk to visit a 60-meter-high ceiba tree. Our guides have extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna and will provide explanations about nature during the horseback tour. You will have the opportunity to enjoy a typical Costa Rican lunch, which is a part of a cooking class. You can also roast your coffee and make tortillas at the end of the tour. The tour covers a total of 5 kilometers around our rainforest reserve and is highly recommended for families and nature lovers. Guests can collect ingredients during the horseback ride to cook their lunch at the typical Don Lelo ranch

We believe that a healthy and prosperous life starts with what we eat; also, gastronomy and family recipes connect us as human beings. Eleven years ago we decided to switch our farm from a "traditional" crops to organic ones to improve our own health. In this experience we'll walk through our organic farm with the last bits of sunlight looking for the fresh ingredients we'll need to prepare a delicious dinner and share our culture with you. We hope that, besides providing a delicious foodie experience, what we do inspires more people to care about the source of their food and protect our planet. We have veggie and vegan options. Please do let us know if you have any other allergy and/or dietary restriction.

After making a coffee in Costa Rica´s traditional “coffee maker”, sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the rainforest that surrounds the experimental farm filled with herbs, fruit trees, and much more. For the non-coffee drinkers, try another Costa Rica beverage or a herbal tea. With your coffee energy boost, it is now time to see why the Aztecs called chocolate the food of the gods and how it is transformed from some fruit on a tree to a delicious snack in a bar and a soothing hot chocolate drink. Using traditional century-old techniques, create your own personalized chocolate bar that is yours to enjoy. This Tastes of Costa Rica experience is a must for coffee fans, chocolate lovers and foodies. This hands-on gastronomical journey is educational, entertaining, and delicious!
