Learn from the pros! A tour idea that was born from a need to cater to volunteer groups in the community: Doña Juana Jiménez started this cooking class. She offers the opportunity to learn how to make either a traditional Costa Rican mid-day snack or entire meal, depending on the student's desires. The food is native to the region of the Osa Peninsula, made with fresh ingredients from local farms.
Duration: 2-2.5 hours
Tour given in Spanish. A translator can be hired at an additional cost.

Our History
Traditionally the women of Rancho Quemado have an excellent reputation for their talents in the kitchen; through the years in communal and sports activities, the taste of their meals was made known inside and outside the community. In 2015, with the increasing reception of foreign visitors, during a community meeting with the ADIRQ arose the opportunity for Doña Juana Jiménez to provide cooking classes within her home.
Doña Juana Jiménez: courageous woman, pioneer of the community, elderly widow, mother of 5 adult children, who enjoys being able to teach how to prepare delicious peasant meals, just as she did for her family while she raised them.
