Manglares Churute und Kakaoroute ab Guayaquil

Diese Reise war unglaublich! Wir sahen mehrere Brüllaffen auf der Wanderung mit unseren ausgezeichneten Guides Jamil und Roberto. Bitte folgen Sie ihren Ratschlägen und bringen Sie VIEL Insektenspray mit und tragen Sie lange Ärmel und Hosen, das macht die Wanderung viel angenehmer. Jamil teilte die köstlichsten Mangos und Ananas, die ich je gekostet habe. Kakao und Mango war das Highlight unserer Reise. Der junge Jamil und seine Familie servierten ein Baum-zu-Tisch-Mahlzeit, das Michelin-Sternen würdig war. Frische Zutaten, die mit künstlerischen Überzügen versehen sind, sind nicht zu überbieten. Dann der Kakao. Das war die beste Schokolade, die ich je gekostet habe, von den Hülsen, die wir geerntet haben, bis zu den getrockneten Hülsen, die wir geröstet und geschält haben. Sie rochen und schmeckten wie Brownies, die im Ofen backten! Verpassen Sie diese Reise nicht! Es ist eine einmalige Erfahrung!

This trip is really fun. It's a long drive from downtown Guayaquil to the National Park, but there was so much to see along the way that that the time went quickly. Simon was a wonderful guide and full of information, and was happy to answer all our questions, not only about the activity but also about life in Ecuador. We saw only a few monkeys, but the hike was enjoyable - although we had to bundle up because of the mosquitoes. Then the cacao farm tour was so educational, and delicious - especially the lunch that was almost completely from products from the farm. It was great seeing not just cacao but also all the many other fruit grown there. And it was fun seeing cacao go from tree to hot chocolate! We highly recommend this activity!

This was an incredibly memorable, educational, and fun excursion. The care given by Simon and Yamill was first class. They had exceptional knowledge and ability with tours, driving, howler monkeys, chocolate, coffee and farming. The knowledge of the area and working with the monkeys was very helpful to our tour. The lunch that was prepared for us was 3 courses and was beyond our expectations. Ending with the house made coffee was a treat! Then we made chocolate from harvesting a pod on property all the way to roasting it, grinding it, and preparing a spectacular hot chocolate. We ended with our own homemade chocolate bar personalized to our tastes. The entire group highly recommends this excursion!
