Costa Rican Farmer's Day - May 15th
On May 11th, 1968 the 4096 Law was declared in Costa Rica, a fair tribute to the rural men and women, who with their everyday and very hard work, produce food that Costa Rica depend on, and a large amount of the foreign exchange that the country needs for its development. Through the history of agriculture it has been, and remains today, the economic, social and cultural livelihood of our nation.
Ocotea Tours & Transfers invites you to celebrate this day enjoying the new Farmer's Market Tour at the Monteverde Square Mall, in downtown Santa Elena, every Saturday from 6:00 am to 10:00 am.
It is an exclusive area for producers, artisans and farmers, where high quality products are sold at a very affordable price. During this activity, you will walk around the market and enjoy the local culture and cuisine.
This tour brings together three key aspects: recovering the Costa Rican idiosyncrasy through the sale of local products, providing a meeting place for neighbors and friends, and collaborating in the invaluable development of the Monteverde community.
