Healthy Food in the Guanacaste Blue Zone

Did you know that Guanacaste is on the health-world map for being one of only five Blue Zones in the whole world? Nicoya in Guanacaste Province is one of the few places where you can find a number of centenarians alive today. Biologists have deduced that this is largely because of the way that locals traditionally eat, which is mostly natural.

Every ingredient is picked and processed by hand in many local kitchens. Making corn maize in particular is a time-honored tradition in which locals use a wood-fired oven and lime. This combination provides incredible medicinal properties that have long been known locally but are just being recognized today by modern science. Be on the lookout for the hand-prepared tortillas made fresh for every breakfast at our restaurant.

Many of the travel agencies from around the world who send their clientele to Hacienda Guachipelin are looking for a farm-to-table experience. Tourists in Costa Rica are hoping to experience authentic Guanacaste culture and food is a big part of that experience. Eco-tourists love to visit our Hacienda to learn about homesteading and the many foods we grow on site. Visitors are able to pick microgreens from our greenhouse and milk our grass-fed cattle in our dairy farm.
