    Morazan Park

    An Exclusive "Farm-to-Table" Finale The evening concludes in a private home dining setting within a designated historical building. This is the ultimate highlight because: • Caribbean Influence: While many tours focus on Central Valley food, this highlights the vibrant, spicy, and coconut-infused flavors of Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. • Intimacy: It avoids the "tourist trap" feel of public restaurants, offering a quiet, art-filled space that feels like a dinner party with friends. You will get to cook your own "Empanada Arreglada" and have a blast crafting two unique signature drinks: the "Morenito" (a delicious coffee-based cocktail) and a refreshing "Mojito de Cas" (made with a tropical fruit unique to Costa Rica). Whether one person crafts cocktails while the other helps cook, or you both prefer to just relax and enjoy the show, the choice is yours!
