Excellent coffee experience

5.00A super cute experience The tour with Sweet Costa Rica was the best. They took us to a coffee farm where they explained the whole process and we tasted great coffee. Then we had lunch on a typical ranch and met Chorotegas artisans who taught us how to make ceramics. I loved how authentic everything was, you could tell they support the community. Very attentive guide and super quiet atmosphere. Perfect for unplugging and learning something new.

5.00Too much tuanis the tour We went on the Coffee & Culture Tour with Sweet Costa Rica and it was a note. We learned everything about coffee, from matte to cuppa, ate a delicious married and even made ceramics with Chorotega people. The guide super good people and everything felt very authentic. In the end they gave us a souvenir video that was very funny. If you want to do something different and know the real life, this tour is brutal.

5.00One of the most beautiful experiences of our trip to Costa Rica. In the coffee tour we learned how it is collected, the brewing process and to differentiate the nuances of its aroma and flavor. On the other hand, we got to know the Chorotega culture with Don Ezequiel and Dona Gladis, wonderful people who taught us how to work clay and the importance of taking care of the environment around us. It is a super nice activity and recommends it to everyone.

5.00It was an amazing experience, both the visit to the coffee cooperative and the cultural immersion in the Chorotega tribe. In the cooperative we were taught all the phases of coffee production and ended up doing a tasting of three types of coffee, it was a lot of fun. In Matambu, we were greeted with a delicious ancestral drink, told about their customs and way of life, and were able to make our own clay vessels. It was a very special moment. 100% recommended activity.
An unforgettable experience
