Costa Rica tropical fruit tour

[rarefruit]

Are there any Costa Rica tropical fruit tours?   

Gene Joyner (Unbelievable Acres Botanic Garden) at one time gave tropical fruit tours in Costa Rica.

I don’t know of any regular fruit tours to CR.  Individual tours will pop up sometimes around July/August or so when there are the most fruits in season.  Costa Rica is a fairly easy country to visit.  It wouldn’t be hard to organize your own tour. 
I could make some recommendations for anyone interested in that.

I would look into airbnb experiences, eg. this one - https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/124239?user_id=11588282&s=41&ref_device_id=9b0c74bdb8811d3d8ceb95bc4657f8e245ca340f&_branch_match_id=620345222866730341

The farmers market in San Isidro General on thursdays.  Puerto Viejo, Talamanca market on Saturday.  August should see durian and a plethora of other fruits at good prices.

You know, I tried to get Gene Joyner to come to the CR Caribbean where the truly ultra tropical fruits are grown and he never did it.  We’ve got interesting fruits now like Brunei cherry with lots more to come in the next months. We expect to have lots of durian in the fall. I doubt that Gene ever found durian in CR.
