Join a local host in Monteverde for a hands-on Costa Rican cooking class. Learn to make traditional dishes using fresh ingredients, then enjoy a meal together in a cozy home.

PRICE: $75
per person

 

Join a local host in a cozy Monteverde home for an authentic Costa Rican cooking experience—available as a lunch or dinner class.

Choose between a morning lunch cooking class (10:00 AM) or an afternoon dinner cooking class (4:00 PM) and enjoy a hands-on experience preparing traditional Costa Rican food using fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Rather than following a fixed menu, the dishes are selected based on seasonal availability, local traditions, and the group’s dietary preferences—just like Costa Rican families cook at home.

From grinding spices to frying plantains and shaping tortillas, you’ll take part in each step of the process while learning about Costa Rican culture, history, and daily life. Along the way, your host will introduce the ingredients and explain how they are commonly used in local cuisine.

After cooking, sit down together to enjoy the meal you’ve prepared—either as a relaxed lunch or a cozy dinner—sharing stories and savoring the flavors of the Monteverde region in a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs or food allergies can be accommodated—please let your host know in advance.
