Tortilla Making: A Culinary Experience!
Craft Tradition - Taste Culture
In Costa Rica, tortillas have a long, rich history tied to the indigenous and agricultural roots of the region. Corn, the main ingredient in tortillas, has been a staple of Central American diets for thousands of years, central to both daily life and spiritual traditions. For Costa Ricans, as for many Mesoamerican cultures, corn is seen as a “gift of the gods,” symbolizing sustenance and community.
Immerse yourself in an authentic Costa Rican culinary tour with our hands-on tortilla-making workshop! Guided by our talented kitchen staff, you’ll learn the age-old technique of crafting perfect tortillas from scratch.
This interactive experience isn’t just about cooking; it’s a journey into the heart of Costa Rican culture. Our staff will share stories and tips passed down through generations, ensuring each tortilla is as authentic as it is delicious. Once cooked, enjoy your handmade creations with traditional toppings such as cheese from our dairy or if you are vegan we will provide other delicious toppings for your tortilla.
