Discover the culture, flavors, and living traditions of Guanacaste on our Nicoya Blue Zone Coffee Tour & Traditions —a relaxing day that blends coffee heritage, indigenous craftsmanship, and authentic local cuisine.
Start with a hands-on coffee experience where you’ll learn how coffee is grown and prepared, from plant to cup. Then continue to a cultural stop to see Matambú indigenous pottery, where ancestral techniques are still used to create beautiful clay pieces by hand. To complete the experience, you’ll enjoy a traditional Guanacastecan lunch in Santa Cruz, one of the region’s best places to taste local food and feel the true hometown vibe.
This tour is perfect for travelers who want more than sightseeing—it’s a chance to connect with real people, traditions, and everyday life in the Nicoya Blue Zone.
