点评:Birdwatching and getting to know the family here was one of our best experiences in a month-long trip to CR., and a great way to get away from the Santa Elena madhouse for some peace and nature. There are a couple of fruit feeders that attract a wide variety of birds to very close range for photography. The family has owned the farm since 1950 and - although it remains a working farm - much of it is left wild with great trails. The owners’ passion for their wildlife is incredible! We talked at length and they told us all kinds of stories. This is what Eco-Tourism looks like at its best - a local family providing an incomparable experience. We paid our entrance fee, photographed birds at the feeder for a while, then hiked the trails. The owners practically dragged us to see the nesting hawks - they were so proud. It’s very kid-friendly (children are cherished). From Santa Elena it’s a steep, windy pot-holed filled drive but totally worth it. Bonus: Lovely little restaurant with pizza!
翻译:观鸟和结识这里的家庭是我们一个月哥斯达黎加之旅中最棒的经历之一,也是远离圣埃伦娜的喧嚣、享受宁静和自然的绝佳方式。这里有几个水果喂食器,可以吸引各种各样的鸟儿近距离拍照。这个家庭从 1950 年起就拥有这个农场,虽然它仍然是一个经营中的农场,但大部分都是野生的,有很棒的小径。主人对野生动物的热爱令人难以置信!我们聊了很久,他们给我们讲了各种各样的故事。这就是生态旅游的最佳状态——一个当地家庭提供了无与伦比的体验。我们付了入场费,在喂食器上拍了一会儿鸟,然后徒步走在小径上。主人几乎是拉着我们去看筑巢的鹰——他们太自豪了。这里非常适合孩子(孩子们很可爱)。从圣埃伦娜出发,路途陡峭、蜿蜒曲折、坑坑洼洼,但绝对值得。额外福利:可爱的小餐馆,提供披萨!
