Title 1

One of the objectives of the project is to show this fruit as a nutritional option for the market that is interested in the consumption of healthy and organic products.

This tour will provide an opportunity for people to learn about the pitAhaya in a dynamic way.

This project focuses on taking advantage of agriculture to innovate in offering an unconventional product, because pithaya is an exotic fruit that not many people know about it.

This project will promote the cultivation of pitaya by small and large producers in the province of Guanacaste as well as nationally and internationally.

Title 1

It is an attractive tool to educate people about how important this fruit is for the community,and the different benefits that they can get from the activity such as direct and indirect employees.

A pitahaya tour is very important because Costa Rica lacks companies interested in promoting the consumption of the fruit through tourism.
