Turiaguacate — APACOOP Avocado Tour
In the highlands of La Zona de Los Santos, avocado has become an important part of agricultural diversification alongside coffee. Turiaguacate is APACOOP R.L.’s avocado experience in Abejonal de León Cortés, created to bring visitors into the landscape, cultivation and local producer culture behind Costa Rican avocado.
Walk through avocado country
The experience takes visitors through cultivated areas where guides introduce avocado production while the mountain setting also creates opportunities to observe birds, native flora and fauna. APACOOP describes Turiaguacate as an immersion in nature — a chance to disconnect from routine and reconnect with the agricultural landscape of Los Santos.
