Monteverde Cloud Forest Traditional Costa Rican Cooking Class

re you’ll prepare traditional dishes using rather a traditional, or a wood-fired stove, just like our ancestors did. With fresh, local ingredients, you’ll be guided step-by-step to create recipes like Casado, Arroz con Pollo, Arroz de Maíz, or the popular Chifrijo. Immerse yourself in Costa Rican culinary culture as you enjoy the aromas and warmth of a Costa Rica cooking class. Then, savor the meal you prepared with your own hands—an experience that connects you to local roots and flavors. The Wood-Fired Stove Cooking Class options also includes a walk through lush medicinal gardens and a butterfly garden, where you’ll learn about native plants and traditions while enjoying the sights and sounds of nature. By joining this experience, you’re also supporting a local family from a rural community just 30 minutes from Monteverde. Choose between lunch, dinner, or a Costa Rican “cafecito” with handmade tortillas or empanadas.
