We were recommended this family from a fellow traveler and this experience ended up the best part of our whole trip (and the trip was amazing.) The garden was amazing, we were able to see a sloth up close and the meal itself was to die for. The sons ran our class and they were fantastic. I cannot recommend this enough, book right now!

Every aspect of the cooking and learning experience was incredibly awesome! First, the walking tour of the organic garden and explanation of the fruits and vegetables that are grown and harvested was very well detailed. My brother and I also experienced a night tour of the gardens and the opportunity to observe the nocturnal creatures that inhabit this interesting environment in their backyard. Finally, the cooking and meal preparation was topnotch and the dancing to the music of Selena was over the proverbial icing on the cake!
