Highlights

This isn’t just a cooking class — it’s an authentic Costa Rican home experience. You’ll step into Elizabeth’s family kitchen, surrounded by the aromas of fresh local ingredients and the charm of a real Monteverde home. Unlike larger, tourist-focused classes, this is an intimate, hands-on experience where you not only learn recipes but also share stories, laughter, and a homemade meal around the table. Every dish is prepared the way locals have done for generations, making it a true taste of Costa Rican culture.

About Puntarenas

Puntarenas is a Pacific port on a narrow sandspit in the Gulf of Nicoya, with a seaside promenade, a cruise dock and ferries to the Nicoya Peninsula.

Puntarenas stretches along a sandspit about five kilometres long that pokes into the Gulf of Nicoya, with the sea on one side and an estuary on the other. In the 19th century it was Costa Rica's main Pacific port, when coffee from the Central Valley was carted down to be shipped abroad. Today a long seafront promenade, the Paseo de los Turistas, runs along the beach, and cruise ships call at the dock.
