Our cultural workshop has been designed to allow the building of group dynamics while focusing on local culture. Suitable for all ages, this workshop will allow group participants a chance to experience the culture in a hands-on application.

Our program starts with arrival time for lunch.  After lunch a short break will be taken while the lunch cleanup is done, which will give participants a chance to purchase telephone cards, postcards, stamps, mailing or souvenir shopping in our onsite post office/souvenir shop.  Banking or shopping in the local supermarket can be done during this time as well. 


Upon return, we begin with our cooking block of the workshop,   “Empanadas” a local snack food will be made by participants with the help our Head Cook “Tía Julia”.  Participants roll and pat the dough into tortillas and then fill and seal them.  The empanadas will then be fried by Tía Julia.  Participants will have a chance to taste their works of art later during the afternoon coffee break.
 
After cooking classes we move to Dance classes.  During classes we will cover Salsa, Meringue and Cumbia steps, learn how to do some twists and twirls and have a chance to put it all together dancing in pairs.  If there is anyone in the group that would prefer not to dance, we can also offer a local town tour including the Orosi Catholic Church and Museum, the oldest church in Costa Rica that still holds mass.  After classes we take a little time to relax and have our afternoon coffee break allowing time to taste our empanadas.

This afternoon program can also be combined with Irazú volcano tour.  Times and days are flexible.
