Itinerário
Começamos a nossa jornada com um sabor de chorreadas, uma tortilla de milho costarricense tradicional "vertido" servido fresco de um vendedor de rua. É a introdução perfeita aos sabores da região.
Nossa próxima parada apresenta a icônica caldosa, uma mistura única de chips de milho crocantes com ceviche da Costa Rica. Este prato de rua clássico é um must-try!
Aprecie a beleza de Jacó enquanto caminhamos ao longo da praia, admirando pinturas murais vibrantes e arte pública na área. Esta parada permite-nos absorver a paisagem natural e cultural.
Nas quintas-feiras, visitaremos o mercado de agricultores local, onde poderá explorar produtos frescos, produtos artesanais e a vibrante atmosfera da vida comunitária de Jacó.
Depois do passeio, paramos em outro fornecedor para desfrutar de um chiliguaro - um tiro fervoroso da Costa Rica feito com moonshine local, chile e Tabasco.
Relaxe em um encantador restaurante de propriedade local em frente à praia. Aqui, vamos saborear bebidas refrescantes e pratos de frutos do mar feitos com a captura mais fresca local.
Para aqueles que não conseguem obter o suficiente desta bebida costarricense ousada, faremos uma segunda parada para um twist diferente no chiliguaro.
Em um bar local favorito, tomaremos uma Michelada clássica - uma bebida refrescante à base de cerveja - e desfrutaremos de um chifrijo saboroso, uma mistura saborosa de chicharrones (porco picante) e frijoles (boios).
Terminamos com uma nota doce com uma visita a um amado vendedor de sobremesas para Churchill, um delicioso sorvete da Costa Rica com camadas de leite condensado, gelo rasgado e sobremesas de frutas.
Ao longo do passeio, vou compartilhar insights sobre a geografia, história, cultura e arte de Jacó, bem como anedotas e histórias pessoais sobre a cidade. Ao longo do percurso, vou destacar arte pública, edifícios importantes, restaurantes autênticos e as melhores lojas de presentes para lembranças únicas, feitas localmente.

Great tour to good food spots I probably wouldn’t have gone on my own. It inadvertently ended up being a private tour, and Josue was great at telling me not only more about Jack but Costa Rica in general. Despite it being just the two of us, I had a great time and learned a lot. Would recommend for solo travelers and groups alike.
Josue was great and very knowledgeable of the history and foods. Took us on a great tour with great food! Definitely recommend doing at the beginning of your trip so you know all the good places. 10/10
I had an amazing experience on this food tour with Josué! The food, drinks, and desserts were all fantastic - every stop was a treat. What really set this tour apart was the historical perspective Josué wove into the experience. Learning the stories behind the food and the culture made every bite more meaningful. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting - you'll leave full, happy, and with a deeper appreciation for Costa Rica. Pura vida!
We had a wonderful time on the Costa Rica food tour with Josue. He went above and beyond with showing us some of the best food spots in Jaco but also with being extremely knowledgeable about the culture, history, animals, and any questions we had about the country in general. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting town. The only regrettable part was that we did this tour on our last day and he gave so many local food recommendations that we will have to save for next trip!
Let me start off by saying my tour guide Josue was the best. He was very pleasant, funny and knowledgable. He convinced me to drink beer which I hate! He was delightful and easy to talk to. He told me about the many murals that are painted around town including the one of the direct descendant of Pastor Diaz. The tour itself is ideal especially if you're open to trying new foods. I had caldosas at Picarita's, patacones, which are DELICIOUS (can't remember the name of the place) and beer randon at Amudio's and a Winston Churchill! This is a walking tour so be advised if you have any conditions.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 🙏 I’m so glad you enjoyed the tour and were willing to step outside your comfort zone and try some new things. And yes… I’m still proud that I somehow convinced you to drink a beer when you hate beer! 😂🍺 It was great having you along, and I’m happy you enjoyed the food, the murals, and learning a little more about Jacó’s history along the way. The Churchill is always a great way to finish! Thank you again for joining me and for the kind words. Pura Vida! 🇨🇷
I had a really great time on the Jacó Food Tour with Josue. He was on time, super knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. You can tell he knows the area really well, and I learned a lot about Jacó while trying some really good local food. I liked that it wasn’t just about the food, it was also a walking tour around downtown. He pointed out different places around town, shared local recommendations, and we even stopped in a souvenir shop, which was a nice little addition. We also ended the tour with dessert, which I wasn’t expecting and thought was a fun surprise. The whole experience felt like a great value for the price. There was plenty of food, and I left feeling like I got to experience much more of Jacó than I would have if I had explored on my own. I was traveling solo from the U.S. and I felt safe and comfortable the entire time. Josue was friendly, laid-back, professional, and made the tour feel really easy and enjoyable. I’d definitely book with him again and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Jacó! Thank you! Pura Vida!
Thank you so much, Allison! 🙏 It was a pleasure having you on the tour, and I’m really happy you enjoyed not only the food but also getting to explore Jacó and learn a little more about the town. I especially appreciate you mentioning that you felt safe and comfortable traveling solo. That means a lot to me. I always want guests to feel relaxed, have a great time, and experience Jacó like a local rather than just checking off a list of tourist spots. Thank you for spending part of your trip with me and for the wonderful review. I hope to see you back in Jacó someday! Pura Vida! 🇨🇷

I had such a wonderful with the guide Josue. He is very knowledgeable of local Jaco history, culture and the food. I learned so much about the cuisine and history while i was on this food tour with Josue. The foods are so tasty as well! I won’t be able to discovery those dishes on my own if it’s not for Josue. Josue is very friendly and approachable. I can tell he really enjoys touring and guiding people and teaching Jaco history. The portion of the food/drinks are perfect. Highly recommend this if you are in Jaco. Come hungry!
