点评:Santos and his family provided us with one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica and exceeded our expectations.
We were welcomed with a snack of fresh fruit, met Santos (our guide) and his family, and once the other group arrived we walked three minutes to the Tempisque river. In that short time we saw scarlet macaws flying by and both howler and white-faced monkeys above us.
The boat was comfortable and provided plenty of shade for the entirety of our tour (9:30am–11:45am).
All along the way Santos and the captain (his father-in-law, I think), were able to spot dozens of crocodiles and numerous others animals and plants including herons, egrets, kiskadees, green iguanas, and monkeys, among others. Santos was also able to answer all of our questions and seemed to genuinely enjoy sharing the beauty of the river he grew up on. His English is also excellent.
After the boat trip we returned to find Santos's family had prepared a delicious lunch for us from scratch (see photo) on tables he made himself from old Guanacaste trees.
My wife and I agreed that the boat tour and our time with Santos and his family was the perfect end to a wonderful week in Costa Rica.
I really cannot recommend Tempisque Ecotours highly enough, especially if you're looking for an authentic Costa Rican experience with a family who loves what they do.
翻译:桑托斯和他的家人为我们的哥斯达黎加之旅增添了一大亮点,远远超出了我们的预期。
我们受到了热情的款待,享用了新鲜水果点心。随后,我们见到了桑托斯(我们的向导)和他的家人。等其他游客到达后,我们步行三分钟便来到了坦皮斯克河畔。短短三分钟内,我们就看到了绯红金刚鹦鹉飞过,吼猴和白面猴在我们头顶盘旋。
游船舒适,在整个行程(上午9:30至11:45)中都提供了充足的阴凉。
一路上,桑托斯和船长(我猜是他的岳父)发现了数十条鳄鱼,以及包括苍鹭、白鹭、大嘴霸鹟、绿鬣蜥和猴子在内的众多其他动植物。桑托斯耐心解答了我们所有的问题,似乎真心乐于分享他从小长大的这条河流的美丽景色。他的英语也非常流利。
乘船游览结束后,我们回到住处,发现桑托斯一家已经为我们精心准备了一顿美味的午餐(见图),餐桌是他用瓜纳卡斯特老树干亲手制作的。
我和妻子一致认为,这次乘船游览以及与桑托斯一家共度的时光,为我们在哥斯达黎加的美好一周画上了完美的句号。
我强烈推荐Tempisque Ecotours,特别是如果您想体验地道的哥斯达黎加风情,并与热爱自己事业的家庭一起享受旅程的话。
