Campesino Farm Tour

After a short 35 minute drive, we will arrive at the incredible area designated for reforestation that lays beside the Mendez Family farm, in La Tigra, San Carlos, near the mountains of the Children's Eternal Rainforest, which is registered as the largest private reserve in Central America. Here, we will walk a short trail to observe the rainforest of the region and in hopes of discovering tinamu, anteaters, coatis, morpho butterflies, several species of birds, and much more. Afterwards we will continue on to visit the farmed portion of the land, where we will meet the family and learn about their lifestyle, customs, traditions, and farming method. We will visit their black pepper, vanilla, yucca, coffee, banana, corn, and other plantations which are traditional to the region. Finally, we will enjoy a delicious authentic Costa Rican lunch, prepared on a wood-burning stove, with some of the finest organic products cultivated on the farm. After lunch, we will head back to La Fortuna.
