The older gentleman at the beginning is so cute, his beautiful smile warms my heart

[@seamslatasha3598]

I just love Costa Rica. Travelling as a solo woman almost 19 years ago I met some of the kindest people in Costa Rica. And the food was so delicious and was all about the quality of the ingredients. If I could only eat only one plate of food for the rest of my life it would be that breakfast plate.

[@TheDufresnes]

The people here are still the same, stranded on the side of the road you'll have 14 Costa Ricans helping you in the matter of minutes. We've lived and filmed here for over 6 years if you want to see more of what Costa Rica is like now. Pura VIda

Hi Mark ,I love all your programs but to see this one for me is one of the best because I born in a little town from Nicoya call Colonia Carmona Nandayure is about 20 minutes from Nicoya center but lots of my family lives in Nicoya and Nosara , to see all the dishes that my grandma used to make when I was little it take me back to my childhood . I living in Austin Texas for 40 years and to come home from a long day of work and see this on tv it make my day .

[@franklinnorth7708]

Lived in a Blue zone, Loma Linda California. I notice in this clip, no teflon pans, no canola oil, no crisco or hydrogenated oils. My Mother is from Columbia, grew up with similar foods.

This was amazing. I love Costa Rica 🇨🇷 so much! My wife is Tica and her family is from Paquera in Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica. I have never been there, but i have lived in Costa Rica for 9 years. What an amazing country… love the people, the vibes, the naturaleza (beautiful nature), the food, the beaches, etc. Un gallo pinto con natilla, pan, huevo, salichichon is my favorite food in the whole world! And a Casado 🤤… I probably never experienced pinto like this in the video. I wish… but I will. Now probably everything is just cooked in oil in San Jose 🤢. Killing us slowly…

[@eyobgebreselassie511]

[@biankamak3609]

Costa Rica is amazing! I love the food here. We moved here 7 years ago. We live in close to Dominical, higher in the mountains. I've learned from our friend, who helps us with gardening, to cook some traditional Costarican food. We use only lard for cooking. My week spot are tortillas, takes me a long time to prepare, I hope I will get better in preparing them with time. We live in the village, among local neighbors, I love them and feel so grateful to be accepted. We keep chickens for eggs, culantro de cayote grows like weed on our property. We barely buy food in supermarket, just rise and some condiments (like salsa Lizano). All the meat, vegetables, and fruits we eat, we buy from the small, local farmers. It is amazing, when you eat fresh foods, you don't really need a lot of spices. The food itself has an amazing taste.

[@rolandscriven6060]

All blue zones have something in common: socialization! People stay active and above all social. The food is generally healthy but vastly different. It's probably the human factor that keeps people going for so long.

[@BluezoneCostaRicakitchen]

❤

[@roygbiv5164]

I worked as guide for 3 .5 months in northern Costa Rica, the white (farmers) cheese that we obtained from some local farmers was amazing!

[@georgemay3665]

Seeing the guides is almost as interesting as seeing the food. It's very interesting to hear what they have to say about their local food and food habits. Seeing how it's so localized with very different views on food and consumption habits outside of their country. I've noticed this discrepancy in how the rest of the world eats, as viewed by the guides, a lot more noticeable in the recent Central American videos you've done. Thanks for all the work, great videos.

[@fisheye375]

My grand ma uses the same grinder here in Africa. It’s actually everywhere. Everybody own one😂😂

[@Chillwire2]

Happy people with good homemade food and good music. Capitalism and consumerism has us thinking we need a bunch useless things to be happy but when i see mark travel i all i see is happy humble people while here most are competing and angry/depressed ppl. We need to bring more community/family spirit to the richer western countries.

Knowing that when you go to theses places you see a lot great dishes,that shows the value and traditions of that country.

[@leonflores7181]

Wow! Those thick hand made corn tortillas looked delicious. My grandmother used to make them like that and they came out perfectly round like the ones the nice lady in this video made. When she let me try to make them with her, mine ended up looking like the state of Arizona. Great video Mark!

[@vant83]

Love that you did this video specifically about the distinct food from Nicoya peninsula and Guanacaste province, their folklore is considered essential to Costa Rican identity and after this video I am really longing to go back there. 21:00 Culantro coyote is a secret weapon to many dishes in Costa Rica, it tastes amazingly and adds so much to the fragrance of a dish. 24:50 that song is called "Amor de temporada", an amazing song from a Guanacastecan composer.

[@CD-Oyle]

Two things that really stuck out for me regarding Costa Rican cuisine: The cheese and gallo pinto with Lizano sauce. Mmmmm. Oh, and the coffee. Even grocery store coffee was awesome. Brought some home with us along with a bottle of Lizano sauce.

[@mitchellflannel2597]

La Salsa Lizano para nosotros los ticos es como los tomates y queso para un italiano. INFALTABLE

[@timonmarce9095]

I was looking for this comment.

[@elviqv]

Costa Rica is one of the most cleanest and greenest countries in the world, i guess is part of their culture of cleansy. I get vibes of very educated classy tradicional people with lots of manners. Very impressive

[@am4rok995]

We used to be called the Central American Swiss that could give you an idea.

[@iriamonge1704]

it's not like the majority of Indian food

[@vant83]

The Ministry of Health is pretty strict on the permissions that it gives to places like bars and restaurants. Yoy have to pass a "food preparation" course to be able to work in the sector. The upside is that it will be difficult that you get sick after going to a legal food establishment in Costa Rica. The downside is that we, ticos, get sick all the time when we go abroad and try some other countries' delicious culinary traditions.

[@TravelbyDartTV]

I already visited many places in Costa Rica for our TV show but haven't been here. My friends are always saying that this place is where the waves are high, and the stress levels are low! Love to go back there again.

So cool you made it out our way! We love the blue zone and the water here is the best. A lot of our friends who are ticos and ticas don't drink the water anywhere they travel as it doesn't compare to the water here. Next time you come and if we are still here we would love to take you to some hidden gems we've filmed at and not places set up by the tourism board. True authentic experience. Looking forward to filming at some of your favorite spots in Thailand this coming year.

What i also noticed that they like to clean up their houses even to use a broom to clean their little piece of lawn in front of their house!!!
