Aftera short 35 minute drive, we will arrive at a beautiful area designated to reforestation, in the mountains near the Children’s Eternal Rainforest. We will take a small trail to admire the beauty of the tropical forest of this region.Next, we will plant a tree in a designated area. Afterwards, we will enjoy a delicious snack of fresh fruit to recharge our energy before continuing our adventure.
After our snack, we will take another short drive to La Tigra, where we will find the home of the Mendez Family and their small agro-ecological farm where we will learn about the daily lifestyle of traditional Costa Rican families, their customs, culture, and traditions, in addition to the processes they perform to sustainably maintain their property.
We will explore the property and visit the pepper, vanilla, yucca, banana, corn and other traditional plantations of the region. Afterwards, we will enjoy a fantastic lunch with farm-fresh ingredients prepared on a wood-burning stove for the authentic flavor of Costa Rica, before returning to your hotel in La Fortuna in the afternoon.
