VENTURE INTO THE CARIBBEAN OF COSTA RICA AND ENJOY ITS DELICIOUS FOOD

The Caribbean of Costa Rica not only offers idyllic landscapesadventure tours and a unique flora and fauna, but the tourists that travel to Tortugero, can also enjoy delicious dishes that have become the ambassadors of this exotic region.

In the Caribbean province of Limón, where Tortuguero is located, you will find foods like ‘pan bon’ -or black bread-, made with flour, dried fruits, raisins, nuts, seeds of jamaica, ‘tapa de dulce’, honey and sugar; a delight that you can serve with a good cup of Costa Rican coffee.

Another great recipe is the famous ‘patí’, a turnover filled with ground beef, pieces of bread, spices, onions and spicy chile, which has a wonderful taste.

If you’re a fan of soups, at the Costa Rican Caribbean its residents are experts in the preparation of ‘rondón’, a soup made with fish, green banana, coconut milk, peppers and spices … simply delicious!.

But actually the most typical dish of the Caribbean region has a proper name: rice and beans. Its recipe combines rice, beans, onions, sweet and hot peppers, and the golden ingredient: coconut milk.

The patí, rondón and rice and beans, may be accompanied with the beverage known as ‘agua de sapo’. To prepare it you have put one ‘tapa de dulce‘ with some pieces of ginger into boiling water; then the liquid is passed through a strainer and  then you should add lemon juice and ice.
