Gifts are never in short supply at Christmas, but they don't always have to arrive wrapped in a little box. A fun, relaxing or culinary experience can be the perfect gift. If you like giving memorable gifts, here are packages and experiences to give this holiday season.
Varied activities
This gift is perfect for people who enjoy a good time and have a sense of humor. The Teatro Breve lineup includes Noches de Impro, every Monday, and Noche de Jevas, Thursday through Saturday. In December, Esta Noche Juega el Joker will be on the bill on Tuesdays the 3rd, 10th and 17th.

Give the gift of a full day of relaxation. Sometimes the best present is letting someone treat themselves. This Christmas, you can look into the offers available at relaxation and spa treatment spots. Some of the better-known ones, such as Zen Spa and Nouvelle D'Spa, have packages and set deals you can take advantage of for the season.

The country breeze tends to be cooler at Christmas, and there's no better way to enjoy it than a cacao tour of this farm where fine-flavor cacao is grown among the mountains of Naranjito. This hacienda is a family project that produces a cacao good enough to rank among the top 50 in the world. On the tours, visitors can explore the hacienda and learn about the production process, from cacao to chocolate, then taste it.
Price: $35 per person
During the holiday season, the aroma of coffee feels especially rich. A tour of the coffee fields at Hacienda Muñoz can make an excellent gift at this time of year. The coffee-making tour takes you through the plantings and ends with the chance to taste a freshly brewed cup. No reservation is needed. Tours are first-come, first-served and are offered in English (10:00 a.m.) and Spanish (12:00 and 2:00 p.m.).
Price: $10 – $20
Culinary experiences
The latest culinary venture from chefs Xavier Pacheco, René Marichal and Raúl Correa is a full experience that could make an ideal Christmas gift. Aldeana is located in the mountains of Cidra and has received strong reviews since it opened. Here you'll enjoy a five-course dining experience over four hours. The menu changes every month, featuring local, fresh products that vary by season. You need to make a reservation.

Imagine sitting in someone's home kitchen watching friends or family prepare a meal. That's the experience Epicuro offers. Chef Antonio Pérez's concept goes beyond a traditional dinner and moves into the intimacy of sharing with guests while he prepares five courses. The experience here lasts about two hours and is quite intimate, with only twelve people seated at the table alongside the chef. You should make a reservation.
The culinary experience becomes a journey full of flavor, music, art and countryside when you arrive at this place. Located at Finca Siempre Viva, Bohemia Cocina en Movimiento is much more than a restaurant. Here, the experience led by founding chefs Mariano Seda and Federico Molla consists of five courses that change continuously with the season. For the perfect gift, choose the experience you prefer and reserve.
