点评:WOW what an amazing experience we had for only $49/each! Our guide Hainir was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about a wide array of plants- including their medicinal uses- growing on the farm in addiction to involving us in pressing sugar cane for juice and making drip coffee after dinner for us before our eyes while describing the process. I wrote down at least ten different plants I learned about on the tour ranging from a stevia bush and peppermint plant to mimosa, bibida fruit, mimbro fruit, and more! For a nature junkie, I saw and experienced things I’d never even heard of on this tour!
What’s more, we got to taste many of these plants as we went or rub them on our skin such as the citronella and lemongrass!
Before the farm tour, we chopped vegetables for our salad and blended vegetables like chayote and carrots with herbs like culandro (not cilantro- never tried this before either!) and garlic to make one of the most delicious natural salad dressings I’ve ever tasted. We also made corn tortillas on a hot stove from scratch after mixing and patting them out ourselves! We tasted those with queso cheese immediately which was a fantastic snack. After the tour, there was a buffet waiting for us in addition to our salad and dressing which included a savory papaya hash, gallopinto, juicy chicken dish, and super flavorful beef dish. We were even brought dessert in the form of a fried tortilla covered in delicious molasses.
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. The delightfully friendly woman who helped us cook/prepare food and Hainir were above and beyond in service and expertise. Must try!!!
翻译:哇,我们每人只需 49 美元就能享受到多么奇妙的体验!我们的导游海尼尔非常棒!他非常友好,对农场里种植的各种植物(包括它们的药用用途)非常友好,知识渊博,他在描述整个过程的同时,还让我们参与压榨甘蔗榨汁,并在晚餐后为我们制作滴滤咖啡。我写下了我在旅途中了解到的至少十种不同的植物,从甜叶菊灌木和薄荷植物到含羞草、比比达果、mimbro 果等等!作为一个自然爱好者,我在这次旅行中看到并经历了我从未听说过的事情!
更重要的是,我们可以边走边品尝许多植物,或者将它们擦在皮肤上,例如香茅和柠檬草!
在参观农场之前,我们切碎蔬菜做沙拉,将佛手瓜和胡萝卜等蔬菜与库兰德罗(不是香菜 - 以前也从未尝试过!)和大蒜等香草混合,制成我吃过的最美味的天然沙拉酱之一。我们还自己混合并拍打后,在热炉上从头开始制作玉米饼!我们立即品尝了带有奶酪的那些,这是一种很棒的小吃。参观结束后,除了沙拉和调料之外,还有自助餐等着我们,其中包括美味的木瓜杂烩、鸡翅、多汁的鸡肉菜肴和超级美味的牛肉菜肴。我们甚至收到了油炸玉米饼形式的甜点,上面覆盖着美味的糖蜜。
我极力推荐这次旅行。帮助我们做饭/准备食物的那位令人愉快友好的女士和海尼尔在服务和专业知识方面都超越了一切。一定要试!!!
