COMMUNITY & GASTRONOMY
ROUTE
LOCAL FLAVOR
Discover the true flavor of Guanacaste and Alajuela, far from standardized buffets. This route is a culinary journey into our grandmothers' kitchens, where wood smoke, corn, and fresh farm dairy tell the story of our people. Here, gastronomy is the language of care: sitting at the table means sharing stories with the cooks, tasting fresh-baked bread, and understanding that every ingredient was grown or prepared by neighbors. Simply let yourself be mesmerized by the flavors, the stories, and the warmth of the people.
