2nd Meetup location on the way to the forest: This rustic fruit stand/ food kiosk, and gift shop is a local favorite for a 20-minute roadside quick stop. This planned stop for tropical fruit is purchased, packed, and later handled on the trail by the guide to be served as a Tropical snack. Guests having their car for transportation can meet up here with the group.
Convenient Food stop: Grandma's cooking like ribs, rotisserie chicken, rice and beans, yuca, stews, seafood, and much more is available to handpick from a quick-serve window to place on to-go trays. Try the local fritters, alcapurria, empanadillas, along with a tropical fruit smoothie.
This is a planned brief last-minute food and bathroom break opportunity for those climbing out of bed late and didn't get breakfast. You may want spending money on hand for this stop.
