The tour has a length of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to three hours. Once you arrive you will be greeted by two special members of the tour, the oxen, whom you’ll be able to spend time with and take as many pictures as you like. Then you’ll be taken to the reception area where you’ll be able to relax as you wait for the tour to start.
Coffee Plantation:Coffee was the base of the Costa Rican economy for hundreds of years. The coffee plantation will give you an opportunity to see how this valuable crop was grown, harvested, and transported via hand painted ox carts. These elaborately painted carts are unique to Costa Rica.
Trapiche: One of the most interesting stops of the tour… an authentic and operational 150-year-old oxen-driven “Trapiche” sugar cane press. You will not only learn about the importance of the Trapiche in Costa Rica’s culture, but you’ll also be able to participate in processing the sugar cane! We guarantee that you will have lots of fun and you enjoy the food and drinks derived from the processing of sugar cane and available for sampling.
Macadamia: We start with the tree nursery and end with roasted nuts fresh out of the oven. The trail begins in the tree nursery where you will see how the small trees are selected and grafted. You will then walk through a planting of mature producing trees where you will see the macadamia nuts in various stages of development. At the end of the tour you will visit our dehusking and processing plants. In the macadamia processing plant you’ll learn the process we follow to give our customers a quality product.
