Individuals are welcome to make food at camp, however, no open flames of any kind are allowed. Work Exchangers are welcome to discuss cooking with one another in the Facebook group or Whatsapp chat.
It's really difficult to store food in the jungle. Be prepared with air tight containers, even for fruit, otherwise there will be an ant infestation. Plus, things do tend to turn quickly in the heat and humidity.
Where is the nearest super market?
Where is the nearest super market?
The nearest grocery store is in Uvita, a five minute drive from the festival grounds. The selection is limited, especially for those with dietary restrictions. During the event, many staples run out, so plan ahead and purchase any supplemental food a few days prior to the event or better yet in San José. Staples such as nut butter are much more expensive in Costa Rica than countries in the Global North.
