点评:My wife and I have vacationed in Costa Rica with family and friends for more than 10 years, visiting several chocolate farms along the way. La Mona Golosa is by far the best tour we experienced. It is also conveniently located just a 30- to 45-minute drive or shuttle from where we stay in Playa Bejuco—or from Los Sueños to the north. La Mona Golosa is unmatched in its guest interaction and educational experience. The farm specializes in small-batch, farm-to-table chocolate, and Diego and his team explain every step of the cacao-growing and chocolate-making processes. They engage visitors of all ages and communicate in nearly perfect English. Our family and friends always learn a great deal about the history of the cacao plant and the cacao beverage dating back to the indigenous cultures in Costa Rica. Be prepared to participate in an engaging, interactive presentation that includes tasting, roasting, and grinding cacao beans. Nearly every station of the tour offers something new—from freshly picked cacao beans straight from the pod to the varying levels of cacao intensity in the finished product. This tour is a must! It will not disappoint, and everyone in our groups are still talking about their experience weeks later.
翻译:十多年来,我和妻子一直与家人、朋友一起在哥斯达黎加度假,期间还参观了几家巧克力农场。而La Mona Golosa无疑是我们体验过的最佳游览项目。它的位置也十分便利——从我们下榻的贝胡科海滩,或是北部的洛斯苏埃诺斯出发,开车或乘坐接驳车仅需30到45分钟便可抵达。在游客互动与教育体验方面,La Mona Golosa堪称无与伦比。这家农场专门生产小批量、从农场直供餐桌的优质巧克力。迭戈和他的团队会详细讲解可可种植及巧克力制作的全过程。他们能与各个年龄段的游客良好互动,英语水平也近乎完美。我们全家和朋友们总能从中学到许多关于可可植物历史的知识,以及可可在哥斯达黎加原住民文化中的重要作用。准备好参与这场趣味十足且互动性极强的演示吧——期间还将有品尝、烘焙和研磨可可豆等环节。几乎每个参观点都有新鲜有趣的内容可看——从刚从豆荚中摘下的可可豆,到最终产品中不同浓度的可可风味。这场 tour 绝对不容错过!它绝不会让人失望,我们团里的每个人在几周后仍津津乐道着各自的体验呢。
