点评:Spent 1 night of our recent trp to CR at Turismo Rural Juanilama. We (a family of 3) were staying with Sophia. The room attached - but separate from the main home - was clean and comfortable with mozzy nets and a separate bathroom. Sophia was a very warm host who was kind enough to make us a lovely evening meal and breakfast the next morning. Our Spanish is sadly none existent which did limit the amount we were able to communicate and make the most of our time there, but Sophia's daughter (and delightful granddaughter) were around and we were able to communicate in English well enough to learn a little about our hosts and their lives. We felt very welcome although Spanish speakers would probably get even more out of the trip.
Our travel agent had advised to arrive by 3pm but in truth as there was nothing planned for the afternoon we could have taken a little more time to get there. The following morning before we left we spent a wonderful couple of hours in the community garden. I have regrettably forgotten the name of the lovely young lady who showed us around but she had a real love for the village, garden and plants and spoke fluent english which helped us get the most out of the visit. My daughter especially loved seeing the cacao seeds and how they are turned in to cocoa and for us this was a better way to see this than an elaborate and expensive chocolate tour.
If you are visiting La Fortuna and have an extra night I highly recommend this as a different and worthwhile stop off.
Muchas gracias Sophia
翻译:我们最近去哥斯达黎加旅行,在胡安尼拉马乡村旅游公司 (Turismo Rural Juanilama) 住了一晚。我们一家三口住在索菲亚家。房间与主屋相连,但彼此独立,干净舒适,配有蚊帐和独立浴室。索菲亚是一位非常热情好客的主人,她很贴心地为我们准备了美味的晚餐和第二天的早餐。可惜的是,我们完全不会说西班牙语,这限制了我们与当地人的交流,也让我们无法充分利用在那里的时间。不过,索菲亚的女儿(以及她可爱的孙女)也在附近,所以我们能够用英语进行基本的交流,了解一些关于主人和他们生活的信息。我们感到非常受欢迎,不过会说西班牙语的人可能会从这次旅行中获得更多乐趣。
我们的旅行社建议我们下午3点前到达,但实际上,由于下午没有任何安排,我们可以多花点时间到达。第二天早上离开之前,我们在社区花园里度过了美好的几个小时。很遗憾,我忘记了那位带我们参观的可爱年轻女士的名字,但她对这个村庄、花园和植物充满热爱,而且英语流利,这让我们受益匪浅。我的女儿尤其喜欢看可可豆以及它们如何变成可可粉,对我们来说,这比参加那种精心策划又价格昂贵的巧克力之旅要好得多。
如果您在拉福图纳旅行,并且有多余的一晚时间,我强烈推荐您来这里,这将是一次别具一格且值得一去的旅行。
非常感谢,索菲亚
