Culture, Agriculture, and Guided Tours

The route to the Cabécar community of Palmeras features stops in nature. A ceremony prepared by Indigenous people and dances based on their beliefs shape the cultural experience. A traditional natural beverage and a handmade gift from Indigenous people are other features of the experience. Here, nature and cultural elements come together. If this appeals to you, the route offers a different kind of experience from a visit to an agricultural project.

The La Parcela Integrated Farm in Espavel de Batán centers on a goat project. The experience at La Parcela Integrated Farm in Espavel de Batán combines learning about the goat project with feeding young goats, visiting pasture and feed-growing areas, birdwatching, and learning about the worm composting process. This brings together insights into the goat project and the grounds with birdwatching and composting. For families looking to include a variety of interests in their travel plans, this combination offers a distinct focus compared with the cultural elements in Palmeras.

The Mandala Vistas del Barbilla Garden project in Colonia Puriscaleña features guided tours along trails to a waterfall at the foot of Barbilla National Park. The guided nature of the experience and the waterfall destination set it apart from a farm visit or a route featuring a ceremony and dances. If you would like to include nature tours in your plans, the guided tour is the specific feature to consider here.

The community-based rural tourism project in Zent features guided tours through bamboo forests. Varied landscapes and a picnic amid lush vegetation are highlights of these tours. Unlike the waterfall tour, this one focuses on the route through bamboo forests and changing landscapes. The community runs the rural tourism project, while the tour also includes a break in the greenery.
