This is a lovely and wholesome experience cultivated for folks who want to get an authentic, organic, farm-to-table experience near La Fortuna. We experienced a tour of their personal garden, tried various types of herbs that have different flavours and medicinal properties, and learned about how much pride they take in creating a delicious and grounded dining experience for travellers. Be sure to use Waze alongside the instructions provided to find the spot as it is slightly tucked away, but otherwise we would reccommend this experience to anyone in the area.

En Arenal Puesta del Sol nos esforzamos por ofrecer una experiencia auténtica costarricense, conectando a nuestros visitantes con la naturaleza, la cultura y la gastronomía local. Nos alegra saber que este propósito se reflejó durante su visita.
Agradecemos también su recomendación sobre el uso de Waze; sin duda será de gran ayuda para futuros visitantes.
Será un honor recibirle nuevamente en el futuro.
Con profundo agradecimiento, Greivin e Ivannia; Arenal Puesta del Sol.

This was such a lovely experience, it was so good that we booked another class on the spot. The host was so passion about cooking, gardening, and her country. It was such a pleasure to walk through the garden, learn about non-sting bees, guess the many plants and herbs used for the cooking class, and drink fresh sugar cane. The meal was so delicious and so was the drinks. My partner and I really enjoyed this experience and we are confident that anyone who book a class with the host will as well. Thank you for making our trip amanzing!

WOW! What an exceptional experience. Hands on activity where you learn about the different ingredients in the garden, harvest herbs that you'll cook with, prepare meal in the outdoor kitchen with the chef and then sit in the dining area to enjoy your meal. This was the highlight of our trip. We did this as a family with my teenager. Host speaks English and Spanish. We cooked a traditional costa rican meal, tasted various types of honey from the bees in the garden and crushed sugar cane for juice. We would definitely do this experience again!

Muchísimas gracias por un comentario tan hermoso y lleno de entusiasmo.
Nos alegra enormemente saber que fue el punto culminante de su viaje y que pudieron disfrutarlo en familia. Para nosotros es muy especial compartir esta experiencia con padres e hijos, y que los jóvenes también conecten con la naturaleza, la cocina tradicional y nuestras costumbres.
Qué alegría saber que disfrutaron la cosecha de hierbas, la preparación en la cocina al aire libre, la degustación de miel y la experiencia de moler la caña de azúcar. Cada uno de esos momentos está pensado para que vivan Costa Rica de una forma auténtica y participativa.
Gracias por confiar en nosotros y por sus amables palabras. Será un verdadero placer recibirlos nuevamente cuando deseen regresar. ¡Las puertas de nuestra casa siempre estarán abiertas para ustedes!
