Delve into one of Costa Rica’s most iconic crops on this Cultural Banana Tour, a hands-on experience that combines agriculture, history, and cuisine. Our journey begins with an introduction to the role of bananas in Costa Rica's culture and economy, highlighting their importance to both local communities and global markets.
