Costa Rica is an agricultural society.

There are thousands of small farms sprawled throughout the country that grow produce to sell at farmers' markets, along the side of the road, or local supermarkets.

It's very safe to eat fruits and vegetables in Costa Rica due to their excellent quality.

It's a highlight in itself to explore local markets and roadside fruit stands to see and sample the diversity of Costa Rica's agriculture.

Going to a feria, a local farmer's market, for the fresh, organic, and local-grown produce is an authentic social and cultural event, and the savings are fantastic!

From the mountains in the Central Highlands to the beaches of Guanacaste, you won't encounter any trouble at all, finding an abundance of fruits and vegetables to enjoy during your trip to Costa Rica.

One dish that is quite common among other cultures is beef stew.

In Costa Rica, it's called Olla de Carne.

In many other parts of the world, they have their own signature beef stew recipe or other typical food that incorporates broth, vegetables, and spices along with the meat.

These kinds of dishes have been around for hundreds of years because of their ability to combine locally produced vegetables with a central meat staple, beef.

During the cold months, people from North America make a traditional beef stew or pot roast to fill hungry bellies and make cold nights a bit warmer.

Of course, it's best to try the Costa Rican version when you come for a visit.

La Fortuna is a small town of only 12,000 hectares, but it has a lot to offer.

Game for something more exciting?

How about exploring the rainforests through suspension bridges?

You will find a lot of suspension bridges spread amidst the forest canopy.

Being higher lets you observe and appreciate the complex ecosystems that emerge through the trees and in the valleys.

The bridges are safely and smartly constructed so tourists can marvel at nature's beauty.

Suspension bridges come in different sizes, ranging from 100 to 1000 feet. Guided tours present vital information to bridge trips, including pointing out the plants and animals that otherwise remain invisible.

Monteverde, Arenal, and the Caribbean have the most famous of all suspension bridges.

Traditional Costa Rican dishes typically contain inexpensive yet delicious ingredients such as chicken, vegetables, fish, rice, and beans.

Their breakfast or "Desayuno" is quite similar to dishes served in the U.S. but with a few Costa Rican twists.

You can find eggs, bacon, and sausage almost anywhere, as well as Gallo pinto, a local favorite. It's fried rice and beans served with Lizano sauce.

A tortilla is typically used to eat rice and beans. Lunch and dinner are very similar.

The story of coffee in Costa Rica dates as far back as 1798.

It is when acreage and coffee plants were gifted to anyone willing to cultivate the crop for export.

It was not very hard to grow the plants in the country's mineral-rich volcanic soils, cold mountain climates, and shaded fields.

Coffee became the main export and played a significant source of income for Costa Rica.

It was not only a basis for the country's economy, but it also became an integral part of the local culture.

As the historians, Peter and Sampers noted, "Drinking coffee became a ritual of Costa Rican society."

Would you like to experience a more traditional taste of this local delicacy? Try using a chorreador.

The Arenal Volcano is an extraordinary presence in Costa Rica's fertile lowlands.

It stands majestically at 5,437 feet (1,657 meters).

The Arenal Volcano looms large and inauspicious over the pastured green hillsides that surround the area.

It is the country's most active volcano for 43 years, but currently, it's in its resting phase.

What makes the volcano captivating to tourists is its symmetrical shape.

There are also several outdoor activities you can try throughout your visit, including rainforest hikes, whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and much more.

This place should make your "must-do in Costa Rica" list.
