Costa Rica Museums and Coffee - Feel the Culture of Costa Rica!

Cultural Experience - Coffee Lovers Package. Coffee production began in the 18th century in the Meseta Central, an area with near perfect soil and climate conditions for this type of plantation. Coffee growing soon surpassed cacao, tobacco, and sugar in importance and by 1829 it had become the major source of foreign revenue. As a nonperishable commodity in an age of slow and costly transport, coffee proved an ideal product and shortly thereafter became the nation's major export, a position it has maintained until recent years. Experience the fascinating world of gourmet coffee with a coffee lover's tour at Cafe Britt. Take a journey through a working plantation and roaster where you can educate yourself with a colorful, multimedia, "stage play on a coffee farm". You will enjoy a sensory coffee tasting and discover the flavors and aromas of Costa Rica's distinct coffee growing regions. End your tour with a delicious buffet lunch of fresh creative cuisine at Don Prospero's restaurant. The transportation from the hotel is included.
