These experiences provide opportunities for meaningful, in-depth engagement with their specific fields of interest.

Gastronomic Tourism

Centered on culinary experiences, local cuisine, and food culture, our Gastronomic programs offer an immersive journey through Costa Rica for food lovers. Guests can savor traditional dishes such as gallo pinto, casado, and olla de carne, alongside tropical fruits and fresh seafood.

Culinary travelers also have the opportunity to participate in farm-to-table experiences, coffee plantation tours, chocolate-making workshops, and cooking classes led by local chefs. Markets like San José’s Central Market provide additional insight into regional ingredients and Costa Rica’s rich food traditions.


Photography Tourism

For travelers passionate about photography and capturing unique landscapes, wildlife, and cultural moments, Costa Rica offers an extraordinary natural and cultural canvas. From the misty cloud forests of Monteverde to the volcanic terrain of Arenal and the untouched beaches of the Osa Peninsula, our programs provide endless opportunities to photograph breathtaking scenery.

Wildlife photographers can snap close-up shots of toucans, sloths, tapirs, and vibrant frogs, while cultural photographers will enjoy exploring lively local markets, colorful festivals, and traditional rural communities. Both guided photo tours and hands-on workshops with local professionals are available.
