Tour Description

On this trip we will visit a Costa Rican coffee plantation and processing plant, PLUS a traditional pottery town famous for its locally crafted clay pottery!

We will visit the town of “Guaitil” which is the best place to experience the welcoming descendants of the Chorotegas.  These indigenous people of Central America once lived with the Mayans and Aztecs but moved south as a measure of self-preservation.

Famous for handcrafting beautiful clay pottery, the Chorotegas apply the same materials, colors and techniques that have been passed down from their ancestors from hundreds of years ago.

We will also take you to a beautiful area in our countryside, home to a famous traditional Costa Rican coffee plantation.  There you will learn everything you need to know about the whole process of growing coffee.

This tour will cover the harvesting of the coffee berries, extracting the beans from the fruit and more.  You will learn the selection process, the roasting of the beans and drying the grounds. We will even share the local trade secrets of the Costa Rican coffee plantations.

Finally, you will discover the environmentally friendly processes and sustainable manufacturing practices utilized by the coffee growers here in mountain regions of Costa Rica!
