This four-hour walking tour in San Jose begins near the Monumento de los Presentes, where the guide explains how the monument represents the community’s resilience through difficult times. From there, the group visits the Central Market, founded in 1880, to explore local vendors, learn about Costa Rican agriculture, and see ingredients that shape traditional cuisine. The route passes by the Templo de la Música in Morazán Park, a pavilion built in the early 20th century known for hosting concerts and cultural events. The tour concludes with a two-hour dinner in a private historic building that offers an intimate setting away from typical tourist venues. The meal features a four-course tasting menu based on a farm-to-table concept emphasizing Caribbean coastal flavors such as spicy and coconut-infused dishes. Guests participate in an interactive cooking session where they prepare Empanada Arreglada and take part in a cocktail class. They create two signature drinks: the Morenito, a coffee-based cocktail honoring Costa Rica’s coffee culture, and the Mojito de Cas, made with a tropical local fruit. Participants may choose to cook, make cocktails, or simply relax during this social dining experience. The tour is bilingual and includes visits to the Central Market, the Metallic Building, and Spain Park for views of the Yellow House. Food and ingredients served are gluten-free and have a pre-Hispanic origin. Drinks included are sangria and beer. Transportation and any extra food or drinks beyond those listed are not included.
