What To Expect

We will seize the opportunity to savor the vibrant flavors and hues of Costa Rica, immersing in the exploration of traditional Costa Rican dishes, as we stroll through the bustling streets of Jaco town, particularly its lively epicenter. In a typical tour we’ll experience the distinctive street dish known as 'caldosas,' an intriguing blend of corn chips and Costa Rican ceviche. Our culinary journey will then lead us to a traditional local bar, where we'll relish the refreshing and smooth notes of a traditional 'Michelada' beer, and if we're lucky we might get a free “gallito” from the bar.
