Costa Rica Cooking is the place where Chef Scott Alan showcases his passion for cooking while using fresh, local ingredients from his beautiful home of La Fortuna/Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica.

We did the cooking class with Chef Scot back in Feb 2018 and my husband and I still talk about it to this day! We loved everything about it - from the kitchen in the open air, to the drinks, to the food we prepared and all the information we learned about local cuisine. We had such a great time, honestly couldn't say anything about this experience that we didn't like - 100% recommend!

This is a family run organic farm. They want you to come and see how they have tried to transform farming for the last 10-15 years. You are taken on a tour of the farm and get to take part in some of the activities such as pressing sugar cane. Then you get to taste sugar cane spirits. Farther on you learn about cocoa and get to make chocolate from the beans. You roast them, crush them, and eventually make your own chocolate to your own taste. Then a cup of hot chocolate. They served a traditional Costa Rican lunch and then treated us to a display of dance performed by some of the children.

I had a lovely time in the Talamanca Chocolate workshop. Ancel, the owner, is delightful and a fountain of chocolate knowledge (pun intended). Ancel will walk you through the bean to bar experience starting with her beautiful cacao orchard. You will learn how to roast, winnow(remove shells) and grind cacao beans all the while tasting the many varieties of delicious Talamanca chocolate. Spending time with Ancel and eating Talamanca chocolate was the highlight of my Puerto Viejo trip.

Even though we are retired (active seniors) we decided to "go for it." We were absolutely glad we did. The guides were very careful to give clear and complete safety instructions. The rafting itself was exciting and challenging, but not overwhelming. They warned us we would "get wet" and this happened early and often! They had a kayak following us and taking pictures (extra cost, but absolutely worth it). The pictures preserved amazing highlights. For example, one showed our guide, Rodlan, in back of our raft had been thrown several feet "into the air" above the raft. However, he landed safely in the raft, and we would never have known of this, but for the pictures. (And I thought "catching air" was only for motorcross!) In several pictures, the waves crashing over us make it a challenge to see us in the raft, so the promise we'd "get wet" was absolutely fulfilled. We felt challenged, but we never felt endangered. The pictures were delivered (as promised) within 48 hours (via DropBox). They have been a smash hit on social media. We were so glad we choose this company, and this adventure, and we invite others to "give it a try." You won't regret it if you do. (But you absolutely should regret a wonderful missed opportunity if you don't! )
