Arenal Cooking Class

The cultural element of this Arenal cooking class makes for a unique and informative culinary experience in the Arenal Volcano region.

This Arenal cooking class takes places at “La Finquita”, named for the small self-sufficient farms that create the agricultural fabric area. Here, you’ll learn about farm-to-table cooking and gather in-season crops for your meal.

The cooking class menu varies depending on the season, but commonly included items include handmade corn tortillas, empanadas filled with plantains, chicken dishes, patacones (deep-fried green plantains), yucca chips with refried beans, and pico de gallo. Of course, you can’t end this culinary adventure without preparing a special dessert or beverage! It’s the perfect Arenal cooking class for a taste of Costa Rican food and culture.
