点评:We were very disappointed in the content of the Coyhaique City Tour, especially when comparing its $155pp US cost to that of excursions we took in Puerto Montt, Stanley, Ushuaia and elsewhere that were as much as half the price but much richer in content. Our guide, Luca (sp?), a Coyhaique native, was a genial and knowledgeable young man who did the best he could with what he had to work with, but he and his community simply don’t have a lot to display to visitors like us, based on what we saw.
It was a long drive from the port to the city of Coyhaique and when we arrived we were advised 1) there weren’t a lot of shops or restaurants open because it was Saturday and 2) we would spend about 20 minutes here before heading back in the direction we came to stop for lunch at a local ranch.
The lunch stop at the ranch was the unique experience of the tour but while it was interesting to see how the lamb asado was prepared, the food was mediocre and we were crammed into a barn-like dining hall so tightly the people at the table behind us had to completely leave their table for us to have enough room to exit, ourselves. If a qualified U.S. fire marshal saw the situation they’d cite them for operating a dangerous establishment.
On the way back, the guide made a suggestion to stop for photos at what I can only describe as a dead tree swamp. None of the passengers were interested and if I’d bothered to take a picture I’d share it here so you could see why. It was a swamp with dead tree stumps, but that’s apparently what qualified as a place of interest on this escapade.
In short, don’t waste your $$ on this tour - certainly not at the $155pp price. I wish we’d given more credence to some of the less-flattering reviews we read and bypassed it, ourselves.
翻译:我们对科海克城市之旅的内容感到非常失望,尤其是与我们在蒙特港、斯坦利、乌斯怀亚和其他地方进行的短途旅行相比,它的费用为每人 155 美元,后者的价格只有一半,但内容却丰富得多。我们的导游卢卡(SP?)是科海克本地人,他是一位和蔼可亲、知识渊博的年轻人,他在自己必须处理的事情上尽了最大努力,但他和他的社区根本没有太多东西可以向游客展示就像我们一样,基于我们所看到的。
从港口到科艾克市有很长的车程,当我们到达时,我们被告知 1) 因为是周六,所以没有很多商店或餐馆开门,2) 我们会在这里待大约 20 分钟,然后再返回沿着我们来的方向,在当地的一个牧场停下来吃午餐。
牧场的午餐是这次旅行的独特体验,虽然看到羊肉烤肉的制作方法很有趣,但食物很平庸,我们被挤在一个谷仓般的餐厅里,后面桌子上的人都挤得很紧。我们必须完全离开他们的桌子,以便我们自己有足够的空间退出。如果一名合格的美国消防队长看到这种情况,他们会因经营危险场所而被指控。
在回来的路上,导游建议在我只能形容为死树沼泽的地方停下来拍照。没有乘客感兴趣,如果我费心拍张照片,我会在这里分享,这样你就能明白为什么。那是一片沼泽,里面有枯死的树桩,但这显然是这次冒险活动中值得关注的地方。
简而言之,不要在这次旅行上浪费你的钱——当然不是每人 155 美元的价格。我希望我们能够更加相信我们读到的一些不太讨人喜欢的评论,并绕过它。
