The cool climes of Rincon de la Vieja National Park are where you'll find Buena Vista lodge – a secluded resort with a big reputation for tradition, sustainability and organic Costa Rican cuisine. Discover their farm to fork ethos with a tour of the estate, then dine on a feast of fresh produce all washed down with local wine and gourmet coffee.
Arriving at the lodge you'll be greeted with a warm welcome and a drink from your hosts. Take a tour of the lands and local farmers show you how from seed to fruit, they get the best from mother earth. Help collect fresh eggs with the 'sabonero' cowboys or even try your hand at cow milking.
You'll see how all-natural cosmetics are made at the Flor Blanca plant and witness the ancient art of precolonial pottery-making. Over at the kitchen, there's a cookery demonstration using traditional Guanacaste recipes and techniques. Appetite whetted, it's time to sit down to a feast of organic Costa Rican dishes served up with homemade wine and coffee.
