点评:Bottom Line Up Front: Excellent outdoor activity at Portobelo that’s about doing something unique and personal instead of going to the tourist traps.
My wife and I did a tour with Francesco involving the kayak across the bay, entering the jungle through the mangroves, climbing along a narrow jungle trail, and then walking through waves to reach a private beach.
It was an amazing tour. My wife and I are usually not terribly adventurous or very physically fit, so portions of the trek felt like a lot in the moment. I would not recommend this tour for older folks, but it was manageable in the end for minimally active 30-something’s.
Francesco is an excellent tour guide and all-around fun personality. He is able to provide equipment for folks who need it (don’t rely on your own water shoes, borrow boots from him; the mangrove mud is something else).
The activity was roughly 5 to 6 hours. I didn’t watch the clock, so it feels like an hour at start, 30 minutes on kayak, hour in jungle, 2 hours at beach, but that math doesn’t all come together. Short kayak, medium hiking, lots of snorkel and beach time.
This tour felt challenging with a reward at the end. Then you go back to Portobelo and Francesco opens up his restaurant (some of the best pasta I’ve ever had). It was one of the best days we had in Portobelo and it has my highest recommendation if you’re wanting to do an outdoor activity in Portobelo.
翻译:总结:波托贝洛的户外活动非常棒,它独特而个性化,而非千篇一律的旅游陷阱。
我和妻子参加了弗朗西斯科的行程,包括划皮划艇横渡海湾,穿过红树林进入丛林,沿着狭窄的丛林小径攀爬,然后涉水而行,最终抵达一片私人海滩。
这是一次令人难忘的旅行。我和妻子平时都不太喜欢冒险,体能也一般,所以徒步过程中有些路段感觉比较吃力。我不建议年纪较大的人参加这个行程,但对于我们这些三十多岁、平时不太爱运动的人来说,最终还是可以应付的。
弗朗西斯科是一位非常优秀的导游,而且性格风趣幽默。他可以为需要的人提供装备(不要穿自己的水鞋,最好向他借靴子;红树林里的泥泞可不是闹着玩的)。
整个行程大约持续了5到6个小时。我没看时间,所以感觉好像是出发前一个小时,皮划艇半小时,丛林里一个小时,海滩上两个小时,但实际时间并不完全吻合。皮划艇时间短,徒步时间中等,浮潜和海滩时间都很充裕。
这次旅行充满挑战,但最终收获满满。之后回到波托贝洛,弗朗切斯科的餐厅也开门营业了(我吃过最好吃的意面之一)。这是我们在波托贝洛最棒的一天,如果你想在波托贝洛体验户外活动,我强烈推荐这个行程。
