点评:We had a fabulous 4-day stay at Hato El Boral late January, with the focus on birding. Our hosts, Don Hugo and Olga, and the staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The food was very good, especially the family-style lunches; very fresh ingredients were used, and it was wonderful to eat outside.
It's a beautiful, expansive property, with gorgeous sunrise and sunset views, located less than two hours from the airport at Yopal. It is a working cattle and horse ranch. The rooms are simple, but very comfortable, spacious, and clean. Each has a private outdoor bathroom with a shower, which was very refreshing in the hot climate. WIFI was good.
They work with an excellent local birding guide Fabian Cano Figueroa. He and a Hato El Boral naturalist, Harold, accompanied us on our birding walks and excursions on and near the property. Because it is close to the foothills, we also spent one day birding in the foothills. In just a few days we saw around 140 different specieis, including the elusive Zigzag Heron!
I would very highly recommend this property. It was a highlight of our trip!
翻译:一月底,我们在哈托埃尔博拉尔酒店 (Hato El Boral) 度过了精彩的四天,此行的主要目的是观鸟。我们的主人唐·雨果 (Don Hugo) 和奥尔加 (Olga) 以及酒店员工都非常热情好客,乐于助人。食物非常美味,尤其是家庭式午餐;食材非常新鲜,在户外用餐更是令人心旷神怡。
酒店环境优美,占地广阔,拥有壮丽的日出日落景观,距离约帕尔机场 (Yopal Airport) 不到两小时车程。这里是一个仍在运营的牛马牧场。房间虽然简单,但非常舒适、宽敞且干净。每个房间都配有带淋浴的私人户外浴室,在炎热的气候下,这让人倍感清爽。无线网络信号良好。
酒店与一位优秀的当地观鸟向导法比安·卡诺·菲格罗亚 (Fabian Cano Figueroa) 合作。他和哈托埃尔博拉尔酒店的自然学家哈罗德 (Harold) 陪同我们在酒店及其周边地区进行了观鸟徒步和短途旅行。由于酒店靠近山麓,我们还抽出一天时间在山麓观鸟。短短几天内,我们就看到了大约140种不同的鸟类,包括行踪隐秘的锯齿鹭!
我强烈推荐这家酒店。它绝对是我们此次旅行的一大亮点!
