Warm unique and fun experience on a farm
We visited during the off-season, and this ended up being such a unique and beautiful experience. The idea of spending a day on a farm sounded exciting, but I’ll admit I was a little nervous because I didn’t know exactly what to expect. The tour was incredibly informative. We learned about the plants and animals, how different products are made, the chocolate-making process, and even got to see how some of the farm’s alcohol is made. There was something interesting around every corner. What made this farm feel especially special was the way they treat their animals. The animals are cared for more like pets than livestock, and they don’t eat the animals they raise. Even when their cows are no longer able to provide milk, they are honored as retired cows and allowed to roam freely while the farm continues to care for them. Costa Rica has already stood out to me as one of the more sustainable places I’ve visited, but seeing that cycle firsthand was phenomenal. The farm makes an intentional effort to use everything and minimize waste. For example, even the sugarcane pulp left over after extracting the juice becomes feed for the cows. There was something really beautiful about seeing the full cycle — tending to the earth, using what it provides, caring for the animals, and ultimately tending to our own bodies. Such a memorable experience, and definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Great Time Was Had by All
We went with a group of teens, and we all had a great time. Our guide was friendly, fun, and informative. From learning about the history of coffee, to touring the grounds to tasting new fruits, to making sugar cane juice, we all had a wonderful time. We ended with a "home-cooked dinner" that was plentiful and delicious. I highly recommend adding the Farm to your tour.

Farm Tour Review
This farm tour was truly exceptional. The family welcomed us into their home and gave us an inside look at how they live off the land, using every part of their farm with so much care and intention. We ate fresh plants, made chocolate, milked a cow, tried several delicious natural juices, enjoyed a home-cooked meal, and my absolute favorite — tasted real sugar cane! It was incredibly educational, and our whole family loved every moment. The guide had a wonderful relationship with the family, and it was clear how deeply they care for their animals, their land, and their way of life. We felt so grateful to experience something so authentic and heartfelt. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour
It is an amazing experience. The whole family are very knowledgeable and friendly. They make you feel at home and show you how to make chocolate , sugar cane juice , talk about coffee and the meal is amazing. Don Juan and his son and family are so proud of what they do that you feel so blessed to be in their farm. The animals are taken care very good. The experience milking a cow was the best along with feeding the animals. In general this is an experience that everybody should do. Thank you Don Juan and family.

Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Fortuna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Fortuna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Fortuna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Fortuna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Professional guide; Bottled water; Traditional Costa Rican lunch; and Snacks. Not included: Gratuities; and Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 25 listed pickup locations in and around La Fortuna. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Costa Rica Campesino Farm Tour if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in La Fortuna. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
