点评:If you want to experience a culture that lives simply and joyfully, this is it. We visited a local farm in Monterrey (15 minutes from Puerto Jimenez and Botanika). We harvested our own fruits and vegetables (including digging ginger out of the ground, picking coconuts from the trees and tasting fruits along the way). We made our own coconut milk, made vegan ceviche from fresh plantains, and squeezed our own lemonade from freshly picked lemons. My family learned to cook a traditional Costa Rican meal with people that became family. For dessert we roasted our own cacao beans and then grinded them down to make fresh chocolate. We drank soursop straight from the fruit (believed to fight toxins and cancers there). Paola (the owner of Selva) came along to translate for us (small additional cost). She is beautiful inside and out. Thank you Selva for an amazing experience that my family (including teenagers who aren’t always easy to impress) will never forget.
翻译:如果您想体验一种简单快乐的生活方式,那就来这里吧。我们参观了蒙特雷的一家当地农场(距离希门尼斯港和植物园仅15分钟车程)。我们亲手采摘了各种水果和蔬菜(包括挖姜、摘椰子,以及一路品尝各种水果)。我们自制了椰奶,用新鲜的大蕉制作了纯素酸橘汁腌鱼,还用新鲜采摘的柠檬榨了柠檬水。我的家人和农场主们一起学习烹饪传统的哥斯达黎加菜肴,他们就像家人一样亲切。甜点方面,我们自己烘焙可可豆,然后磨成粉,制作了新鲜的巧克力。我们还直接用手品尝了刺果番荔枝汁(据说可以排毒抗癌)。农场主保拉(Selva)也陪同我们一起去,为我们翻译(需额外支付少量费用)。她人美心善。感谢Selva,为我们带来了一次难忘的美好体验,我的家人(包括那些不太容易被取悦的青少年)将永远铭记于心。
