• 5Made empanadas & learned so much!

  They prefer cash! They are very passionate about what they do. We made sugar cane, tried lemons, drank coco, made empanadas, grinded coffee & learned so much. It’s very interactive. Your shoes might get dirty. The mosquitos are everywhere. Close to the Liberia airport. Good for all ages! It’s all outdoors with no ac but there is a fan.

• 5Don't miss it!

  What a fantastic time we had with Tio Leo. This tour was the highlight of our trip. Tio Leo knows his stuff about coffee, and this is a slow-paced, learning tour. Don't expect just a tasting room thing. He'll teach you about the history of coffee all the way back from Africa, to Costa Rica in modern times. He'll show you the experimental farm that's on-site, and explain what all the trees around are (including coffee and cacau). Ask to see the cinnamon tree! We also learned about the history of cacau, and got to roast the beans, then turn them into the "cacau tea" the ancients used to drink, as well as a modern "hot cocoa" drink with milk and sugar. We had a small cooking experience as well, with his helper Mirna, where we prepared our own empanadas, which served as a snack. Then we got to press some sugar cane and sample the juice as well. Finally, we watched the coffee beans being roasted and coming out of the roaster just when Tio Leo felt they were ready. You can see the experience and passion he has for coffee at work. The whole experience lasted around 4 hours, and Tio Leo doesn't wear a watch, so take your time and enjoy it. 100000% recommended.

• 5One of our favorite experiences in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷❤️

  One of our favorite experiences in Costa Rica! 🇨🇷 We absolutely LOVED our afternoon at Tio Leo’s. We wanted to get off the resort and experience more of the culture and everyday life of Costa Rica, and this ended up being exactly what we were hoping for and honestly one of the highlights of our entire trip. Tio Leo is truly what makes this experience so special. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, but also so warm, funny and welcoming. It never felt like we were just on a “tour.” It felt like we were being welcomed into someone’s home and getting to spend the afternoon learning, laughing, eating and experiencing Costa Rica with them. And the whole family/team was wonderful! His wife Cindy was so sweet and welcoming, and Mirna, who helped us cook and made so many of the delicious things we tasted throughout the day, was amazing. You can feel the love and care that all three of them put into the experience. We learned about coffee, cacao, sugar cane, plants and so much more, made empanadas and chocolate, tasted everything along the way, and laughed A LOT. It was interactive, personal and so much fun. If you’re staying in Guanacaste and want to experience something beyond the beaches and resorts, GO TO TIO LEO’S. It’s a small, family-run business and exactly the kind of place I’m so happy we chose to support while we were here. We left with full stomachs, lots of new knowledge, some delicious coffee to take home, and such an appreciation for the people behind it all. Thank you Tio Leo, Cindy and Mirna for making us feel so welcome. We’ll absolutely remember this experience when we think about our time in Costa Rica! 💙

• 5The Ultimate Coffee & Chocolate Experience (With the Warmest Hosts!)

  An absolute highlight of our trip! We visited this wonderful family-run plantation today and were blown away by the hosts' passion for coffee, chocolate, and local food. Tio is incredibly knowledgeable and funny, teaching us about coffee in a way that keeps you completely captivated. We loved cooking delicious empanadas with his lovely wife while sampling their fresh coffee, mango juice, and homemade chocolate drink. Tio also explained the traditional sugar cane extraction process and had us actively participate in pressing our own fresh juice to taste at the end. The backyard plantation walk was highly educational, showing us how the surrounding trees protect and enrich the coffee crop. Roasting our own coffee at the very end was an amazing hands-on touch! This couple’s dedication is unmatched, and the atmosphere is priceless. We can't wait to return! Thank you for a great experience, your Canadian tourists :)

• 5More Than a Coffee Tour

  One of my absolute favorite tours from our trip! This is so much more than just a coffee tour. The family is incredibly sweet and welcoming, and they make you feel like a guest in their home while sharing the history and tradition of coffee production in Costa Rica. Learning about the entire process was fascinating, and the homemade chocolate, empanadas, and fresh sugarcane were an amazing bonus. Everything felt authentic, personal, and never rushed or overly touristy. We enjoyed the coffee so much that when I’m back in the States, this is where I’ll be ordering mine from. Such a memorable experience and one I would absolutely recommend!

• 5Best tour evah!

  We had a fabulous time with Tio Leo and Dona Myrna! The tour is highly informative, full of hands-on demonstrations and tasty snacks! Tio Leo leads you on a historical and scientific lecture to learn about Costa Rica's relationship with coffee, cacao and sugarcane. Throughout the tour, we were served delicious pour-over coffee, made our own rice and bean empanadas, ground roasted cacao beans to mix into cacao water and chocolate milk, and squeezed our own sugarcane juice. My sister and I were considering canceling our tour due to lack of transportation from Penninsula Papagayo, but a review on here persuaded us to continue with the tour. We are soooo glad we did and consider it to be one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. In case anybody needs help with transportation, Tio Leo is willing to call a taxi to pick you up from your hotel and drop you off if necessary. We also stocked up on locally-made souvenirs while we were there. We bought bags of their locally-grown and roasted coffee and cacao beans, as well as soaps made from cacao. The prices were very reasonable (as an American) and it feels wonderful to support a local business and family.

About Liberia

Liberia, nicknamed the White City, is the whitewashed capital of Guanacaste in north-west Costa Rica, a ranching town near volcanoes and Pacific beaches.

Liberia is the main town of Guanacaste, the dry north-west of Costa Rica, and gets its nickname, the White City, from its whitewashed colonial houses and the white gravel once laid on its streets. Cattle ranching shaped the province and its cowboys, the sabaneros, still ride the open plains. Low houses and a simple town square give the centre a provincial feel, and the airport brings travellers into the whole region.
