Breakfast - Granja Rysol

I learned of Granja Rysol from a Grecia Facebook friend who said it was a fun place to visit and have a meal. It has lots of farm animals to interact with, which is just up my alley. So on January 14, 2023, we decided to go there for breakfast.

At just 6.4 km from our house, it didn’t take long to drive there.

Hours are 0845 to 1600. There is a large parking lot with a nominal charge to park there for the day. This is the entrance:

Here are some photographs of the restaurant area with fun art work:



We could hear “moo’ing” behind the log wall and I discovered a couple of calves, two pigs and a horse!

After breakfast, we walked around the grounds. Here are my photos of the critters we met up with:





While we were having breakfast, the workers were bringing in fresh cut grass for the three horses that were used for giving short rides to kids. They were saddled with kiddie saddles. It’s not grass like you may have for your lawn but long and thick grass. All the animals were well cared for.

An interesting sign near the front entrance - notice where the top arrow points to. It points upwards to “Dios” which is the Spanish word for God.

One arrow pointed to Volcán Poás (under “gallinas” and above “burra batalla”):


We live on one of the ridges of Poas Volcano. Here is a good article about our area.

The trade winds were blowing hard on the day we visited Granja Rysol so we didn’t stay as long as we wanted. That’s fine … a good excuse to go back and visit, have lunch and pet more farm animals.
