A Journey Back in Time

As a nomadic surfer, I’m always on the lookout for new experiences that connect me with the culture and history of the places I visit. When I heard about the Cultural Heritage Tour in Escazu, I knew it was something I had to experience. The idea of diving into the traditions of Costa Rica, while enjoying the night views of the capital, was too tempting to resist.

The tour began with a visit to Mirador TIQUICIA, a traditional farmhouse with a two-century-old red tile roof. The moment I stepped inside, I felt like I had been transported back in time. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with the aroma of traditional Costa Rican dishes wafting through the air. It was a sensory delight that set the stage for an unforgettable evening.

Dancing Under the Stars

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the real magic began. The stage came alive with vibrant colors as dancers in multicolored dresses performed traditional Costa Rican dances. The energy was infectious, and I found myself tapping my feet along with the rhythm. It was a celebration of life and culture, a reminder of the rich heritage that Costa Rica has to offer.

The bilingual tour guides were fantastic, sharing stories and insights about the dances and traditions. Their passion for their culture was evident, and it added a layer of depth to the experience. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratitude for being able to witness such a beautiful expression of Costa Rican folklore.

Night Views and Reflections

After the performances, we were treated to a delicious dinner featuring Costa Rican drinks. As I savored each bite, I couldn’t help but reflect on the evening’s events. The tour had not only given me a glimpse into the past but also a deeper appreciation for the present.

The night concluded with a breathtaking view of the capital from a distance. The city lights twinkled like stars, creating a mesmerizing backdrop for the end of our journey. It was a moment of serenity, a perfect way to cap off an evening filled with culture and tradition.

As I returned to my hotel, I felt a renewed sense of connection to Costa Rica. The Cultural Heritage Tour had been more than just an activity; it was an experience that touched my soul and left me with memories that I’ll cherish forever.
