Bijagua sits at the foot of Tenorio Volcano, and this day belongs to the families who farm it. Real countryside, hands-on, lunch from the land.
You spend this day the way Bijagua spends its own: on family farms at the foothills of Tenorio Volcano, watching how people here work, grow, and eat. Local families show you their sustainable methods and the traditional ways they produce what the land gives.
There's a hands-on activity, fresh seasonal flavors to sample, and time to talk with the community. Your guide fills in the region's history, its biodiversity, and its conservation efforts as you go.
Lunch is traditional Costa Rican cooking built on ingredients straight from the farms around you.

Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.
Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.
Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
