Costa Rica wouldn’t be Costa Rica without the cultural contribution of its Afro-descendant population!

In this activity, we’ll learn about their practices, dialect, customs, and the story of their arrival on the Caribbean coast, as well as their unique contribution to Costa Rican cuisine and the rhythm and knowledge of the artistic world.

Starting in the town of Cahuita, we will walk through the streets visiting historical sites, especially Caribbean-style buildings, while the guide shares their knowledge of this culture with us.

Then we will learn about the uses of some medicinal plants and the preparation of typical dishes made with local ingredients that characterize the rich culinary culture, with some of the recipes that make the Caribbean an important reference point in national cuisine.
