Discover the living traditions of Guanacaste in this immersive cultural journey that blends history, craftsmanship, and authentic flavors.
Your experience begins in Guaitil, a village renowned for its centuries-old Chorotega pottery. Guided by local artisans, you’ll learn about the ancestral techniques passed down through generations and take part in a hands-on workshop, creating your very own ceramic piece to treasure as a keepsake.
From there, you’ll head to Casa Santacultura, where the heart of Guanacaste’s culinary heritage comes alive. In an interactive cooking class, you’ll prepare traditional recipes using fresh, local ingredients and time-honored methods, cooking over a wood-fired stove and clay oven. The highlight of the day is sharing a delicious lunch made from the very dishes you’ve prepared — a true taste of Chorotega culture.
To complete the experience, unwind with some time at the pool, enjoying the serene surroundings and warm hospitality of Casa Santacultura. This tour is the perfect combination of creativity, culture, and relaxation — an authentic Guanacaste experience you’ll never forget.
This experience is more than a meal—it’s a celebration of culture, tradition, and community you ’ll savor and remember.
