Blue Zone Tour

Nicoya Blue Zone Tour

Have you ever wondered what it takes to live over 100 years with energy, joy, and mental clarity?
In our unique experience in the Blue Zone of Nicoya, you won’t just explore one of the longest-living regions on the planet — you’ll have the privilege of speaking directly with the true sages of the area: its elders.

They will share, with laughter and fond memories, what their diet was like — based on natural, local ingredients like corn, beans, squash, cassava, and the beloved gallopinto prepared the traditional way. They’ll tell you stories of a simple life, filled with daily physical activity, a strong sense of community, and deep gratitude for the little things.

✨ This tour is not just tourism. It’s a life lesson.
🧓 Meet those who have lived a full century with purpose.

The Blue Zone tour in Nicoya region exceeded my expectations. It was the highlight of our trip to beautiful Costa Rica. Marlon, our passionate tour guide, was experienced, very professional and well educated in local culture, tourism and traditions. My son and I enjoyed spending the day with a local family and interacting with a few more locals. There was no time pressure, the atmosphere was relaxed, yet vibrant and entertaining, we were able to fully enjoy the present moment and the costarican way of living. The locals were very friendly, welcoming, enthusiastic and generous in sharing their precious life stories. There was brightness in their eyes and purpose in their smiles. We savored delicious, authentic food made from scratch.We learned a lot about the health benefits of different herbs ,fruits, vegetables and legumes, staples of the traditional Nicoyan cuisine. I highly recommend the Blue Zone tour with Marlon for those interested in a rich cultural experience. Pura Vida !

Spending an afternoon talking with people in their 90s and 100s is something I’ll never forget. Their stories, their humility, and their joy made me see life differently. I learned about their simple, natural diet — but more importantly, about the power of living with purpose and being surrounded by community. This tour is worth more than a thousand books.

I never expected a tourist activity to move me so deeply. The elders welcomed us with such warmth, shared their longevity secrets, and even danced a little with us. I left with a full heart and many ideas to bring into my own life. The guide was excellent and everything was well organized.

What I enjoyed most was the closeness to the local people. It didn’t feel like a commercial tour — it felt real. Listening to the elders talk about how they grew up, what they ate, and how they lived without stress was fascinating. I wish we had more time in the community, but overall it was a unique and enriching experience.
