Costa Rica

Step beyond the beaches and discover Costa Rica’s true heartbeat on our Culture Tours. Wander colonial streets scented with fresh coffee, learn ancient Chorotega pottery techniques from master artisans, and feel the rhythms of Afro‑Caribbean calypso pulse through seaside towns. Each day blends indigenous traditions, Spanish architecture, Jamaican flavors, Chinese marketplaces, and other vibrant immigrant influences into a multisensory feast of music, cuisine, and storytelling—guided by proud locals eager to share their history.

We handle every detail—door‑to‑door pickup, intimate group sizes, bilingual cultural experts, authentic home‑cooked meals, and hands‑on workshops—so you can focus on living the experience. Choose half‑day tastings or full‑day immersions, all competitively priced and backed by 24/7 support. Availability is limited to protect the communities we visit; secure your spot today and return home with not just souvenirs, but a richer connection to Costa Rica’s diverse soul.
