Blue Zones are regions of the world where, it is claimed, people live much longer than averager. It is a non-scientific term given to geographic regions that are home to some of the world’s oldest people.
Only Five places, in particular, fall into this category on earth, and the Nicoya Peninsula is on top of the list.
But, what is the secret?
Let us show you all the details in our enriching farm tour, designed to share our culture and traditions, considered the keys of this prestigious Blue Zone award.
