Activity itinerary

Banco Central de Costa Rica

  • 15m
Our tour begins at the entrance of the bank, right next to the Monumento de los Presentes, which features small, green figures. We'll start by discussing how this monument symbolises the resilience and survival of the community through challenging times, bridging the past and present. It's a powerful reminder of the strength and unity that have shaped the city, setting the tone for our journey through its rich history and vibrant culture.

Central Market (Mercado Central)

  • 35m
We will visit the Central Market, established in 1880, where you'll have the opportunity to learn about the foundations of Costa Rican agriculture and daily culture. This historic market is a vibrant hub of local life, offering a glimpse into the traditions and practices that have shaped Costa Rican cuisine for generations. As we explore the market, you'll discover the essential ingredients, meet local vendors, and gain insight into the agricultural practices that sustain the region. It's a perfect introduction to the rich cultural tapestry that makes Costa Rica unique.

Templo de la Musica (Pass by)

We will pass by the Templo de la Música, an iconic structure located in Morazán Park. As we explore this beautiful pavilion, you'll learn about its rich cultural history and the significant role it has played in the city's artistic and social life. Built in the early 20th century, the Templo de la Música has hosted countless concerts, events, and gatherings, becoming a beloved symbol of the city's vibrant cultural scene. Its design, inspired by classical architecture, adds a touch of elegance to the park, making it a perfect spot to reflect on the cultural heritage that has shaped the community.

Morazan Park

  • 2h
An Exclusive "Farm-to-Table" Finale The evening concludes in a private home dining setting within a designated historical building. This is the ultimate highlight because: • Caribbean Influence: While many tours focus on Central Valley food, this highlights the vibrant, spicy, and coconut-infused flavours of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. • Intimacy: It avoids the "tourist trap" feel of public restaurants, offering a quiet, art-filled space that feels like a dinner party with friends. You will get to cook your own "Empanada Arreglada" and have a blast crafting two unique signature drinks: the "Morenito" (a delicious coffee-based cocktail) and a refreshing "Mojito de Cas" (made with a tropical fruit unique to Costa Rica). Whether one person crafts cocktails while the other helps cook, or you both prefer to just relax and enjoy the show, the choice is yours!
