Reisroute
We beginnen onze reis met een voorproefje van chorreadas, een traditionele Costa Ricaanse maïs "gegoten" tortilla vers geserveerd door een straatverkoper. Het is de perfecte introductie tot de smaken van de regio.
Onze volgende stop is de iconische caldosa, een unieke mix van knapperige maïschips gegarneerd met Costa Ricaanse ceviche. Dit klassieke straatgerecht is een must-try!
Geniet van de schoonheid van Jacó terwijl we langs het strand wandelen en ons vergapen aan levendige muurschilderingen en openbare kunst in de omgeving. Deze halte stelt ons in staat om te genieten van het natuurlijke en culturele landschap.
Op donderdag bezoeken we de lokale boerenmarkt, waar u verse producten, ambachtelijke goederen en de levendige sfeer van Jacó's gemeenschapsleven kunt verkennen.
Na de wandeling stoppen we bij een andere verkoper om te genieten van een chiliguaro – een vurige Costa Ricaanse shot gemaakt met lokale maneschijn, chili en Tabasco.
Ontspan in een charmant restaurant aan het strand. Hier genieten we van verfrissende drankjes en zeevruchtengerechten, bereid met de meest verse lokale vangst.
Voor degenen die geen genoeg kunnen krijgen van deze gedurfde Costa Ricaanse drank, maken we een tweede stop voor een andere draai aan de chiliguaro.
In een favoriete lokale bar drinken we een klassieke Michelada – een verfrissend drankje op basis van bier – en genieten we van een stevige chifrijo, een smaakvolle mix van chicharrones (krokant varkensvlees) en frijoles (bonen).
We eindigen op een zoete noot met een bezoek aan een geliefde dessertleverancier voor Churchill, een Costa Ricaanse ijstraktatie met lagen gecondenseerde melk, geschaafd ijs en fruittoppings.
Tijdens de tour deel ik inzichten in Jacó’s geografie, geschiedenis, cultuur en kunst, evenals persoonlijke anekdotes en verhalen over de stad. Onderweg belicht ik openbare kunst, belangrijke gebouwen, authentieke restaurants en de beste cadeauwinkels voor unieke, lokaal vervaardigde souvenirs.

Josue is absolutely amazing! He really has a way of bringing strangers together for a great cultural experience.

You can tell the locals really love and respect him and I would expect nothing more for such an amazing soul! I’ll be back and this will definitely be on my list!
Thank you so much for your kind words, LaTrice! 😊 It was truly a pleasure sharing a little piece of Costa Rica with you. One of my favorite parts of these tours is seeing strangers come together over good food, good conversations, and a shared experience, so I'm especially happy to hear that stood out to you. And yes, that ceviche has a way of staying on people's minds long after the tour ends! 😄 I'm glad it made such a great impression.

The relationships I've built with the families and small businesses we visit are something I value deeply, and it means a lot that you noticed that connection.

From beginning to end Josue was very informative, accommodating, charismatic, passionate about Costa Rica and its many offerings. He communicated well before the tour to check in as well and had umbrellas for anyone who needed one as it was a very rainy day. That didn’t stop the tour at all. He really cared that all of us were having a great time and enjoying trying new things. We even did a side stop in another store for some shopping and he pointed out other great stops to try while in Jaco. Everything we ate and drank on the tour was delicious and had a story behind it. Josue is a fantastic guide, storyteller, really so good at keeping our interest and time management. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Jaco!

Our food tour in Costa Rica was one of the absolute highlights of our trip. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the culture behind every dish we tried. The authentic local cuisine to hidden family-owned spots we never would’ve found on our own, every stop felt special and authentic. The pacing was perfect, the food portions were generous, and we learned so much about Costa Rican history, traditions, and daily life along the way. Everything was organized seamlessly, and the atmosphere was fun, welcoming, and relaxed. If you want more than just great food and really want to experience the heart of Costa Rican culture, this tour is a must-do. We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back!
