Our family had a wonderful day visiting Finca El Tuete with Mery as our tour guide. We got to interact with various farm animals and see behind the scenes of a local Costa Rican dairy farm. Mery and her family were so knowledgeable and kind, even cooking us lunch before we left the farm. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a relaxing and fun farm day experience.

Visiting El Tuete Farm Tours is an authentic and enriching experience in the heart of the Costa Rican countryside. Here, nature, tradition, and direct interaction with farm and wild animals come together. Visitors can get up close to species like peccaries and exotic birds, learn about the importance of bees in honey production, and even experience milking goats or cows in the traditional way. There's even a peccary and a deer. It's a tour that connects adults and children alike with the origins of food and life on the farm, in an educational, fun, and intimate setting. Ideal for those seeking a different kind of tourism—cultural and full of direct contact with nature.

The experience at Tuete Farms Tours was truly enriching. From the very beginning, the contact with nature and the opportunity to interact with the great diversity of animals offered a unique atmosphere, full of learning and connection with the environment. Each activity was carefully organized to ensure we fully enjoyed an entertaining tour. One of the most outstanding aspects was the hospitality of the guide, who not only welcomed us warmly but also shared a wealth of information about each of the activities and the practices carried out on the farm. Her professionalism and kindness made the entire tour comfortable, interesting, and safe. She also took the time to answer questions and enrich the experience with interesting and valuable facts about the animals, production, and the importance of conservation. Without a doubt, Tuete Farms Tours is not just a tourist destination but a space for learning, community, and respect for nature. I recommend this experience to all those who wish to experience authentic contact with rural life, enjoy the company of different species and discover the value of the sustainable practices promoted in this place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your authentic farm tour La Fortuna experience at Tuete Farm Tours.

A 2.5-hour guided walk through the farm: our Melipona stingless bee garden (and why bees matter for the ecosystem), a visit with the farm birds, a stop with our rescued wildlife like white-tailed deer, the goat dairy, a burro ride for kids, and a full tour of our cattle dairy with an explanation of how it works, including a visit to the baby calves.

Yes — with all of them, farm animals and rescued wildlife alike. Kids can ride the burro, and anyone who wants to can try riding our bull. Our animals roam freely around the property and it's completely safe to be near them.

Absolutely. The Tico Farm Tour is designed for all audiences and all ages, in private groups of up to 10 people — perfect for families, couples, and friends.

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes and long pants are recommended. Don't worry about your clothes getting wet or a little dirty — that's part of the real farm experience.

Lunch isn't included, but it can be arranged on request. The afternoon session does include a tasting of our own homemade cheese, fresh milk, and tortillas.

If they're grown and already know how to survive in the wild, we release them. If they were rescued as babies and never learned to live on their own, we give them freedom and full care right here on the farm, so they live safely with food and space to roam.

A cozy fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, a private bathroom in each of the three bedrooms, a swimming pool, a family jacuzzi, private parking, a private access road, and WiFi. Breakfast isn't included but can be added for $10 per person.

We're about 25 minutes from downtown La Fortuna and 20 minutes from the Arenal Volcano and Arenal Lake — close enough for a day trip, far enough to feel like true countryside.

Yes, both options are available separately — you can book only the Tico Farm Tour ($55) or only a stay at the cabin, whichever fits your trip.
