Unique Costa Rican experience - The bread making experience takes place on a small family farm, Finca ParaÃso. We were welcomed into the rustic kitchen and helped make empanadas and a sweet bread filled with homemade pineapple preserves. During this hands-on, immersive experience, we were taught how her grandmother taught her to make these recipes. As the empanadas and bread cook, we sat around the table enjoyed conversation along with a cup of tea or coffee. The best part was enjoying the food we prepared at the end.
If you want to experience the local way of life, I highly recommend visiting.

Family fun! - We had a wonderful time visiting the Finca El Paraiso! Making the bread and empanadas was so much fun as was getting to know the lovely hosts. Incredible view! We all, teens included, loved it.

Fun and educational! - We really enjoyed making empanadas and bread with Yolanda and Orlando, and learning about their small farm. The view added to the experience, as did the traditionally prepared coffee from a small nearby farm. They have some cute, handmade souvenirs available as well. So glad we did this!

Cooking from the heart on a beautiful farm - Wonderful experience in Finca Paraiso. I loved everything: the welcome, the stories, the lovely misses Yolanda who taught me to make bread and empanadas, the cooking process, the super friendly dog who greets everyone happily and the enjoyment at the end tasting the fruit of our labor

Beautiful views, great bread, and wonderful host - Carolina, the hostess, was super sweet and it was very authentic experience. We met at an open air kitchen space on her family's farm. We used fresh ingredients right from the farm - eggs, milk, and cheese. The bread and empanadas were excellent. It was very casual, relaxing and the views were wonderful. Carolina was an excellent host.

Tasty and cultural experience - Wonderful experience! Carolina is friendly and her instruction was excellent. My kids, ages 9 and 12, really enjoyed it as did the parents! While waiting for items to cook/bake, we got to peruse the cute items for sale and talk to her about her life in Monte Verde. The empanadas and the sweet bread treat (and delicious coffee/cane sugar beverage!) were delicious and served as a filling lunch.

Baking in Monteverde - The overall baking experience was so cool! The young lady and her brother were very courteous and friendly. Not to mention the fantastic view from their back yard!

Peaceful and filling - The farm is a beautiful setting. Bread making (and eating was a treat). I was disappointed I did not receive the recipes we made to use at home. Especially the empanada!! I make them all the time and bought the flour to make at home ….
