5.00It was a fantastic day. We started with the cuz cuz workshop at a friendly local family home. With a nice little music. Then a beautiful walk through a banana plantation. Finally bought some fresh coconuts. Special and scary to see how they open it (with big machetes). We enjoyed the hospitality, and the beautiful surroundings.
Great experience with a local family

5.00It was a great tour. We enjoyed cooking with a local family. Visiting a banana plantation was also nice, but I wish we had an opportunity to talk with a farmer at the plantation. On the whole, it was a great experience, and highly recommended.
AMAZING

5.00It was an amazing and inspiring experience! Our lovely guide (Elton Vieira-Junior) and lovely driver (Elton Moreira-Kassaf) were extemely kind, helpful, interesting and funny! The incredible band at Mama Luisa's house reminded us how incredibly refreshing and fullfilling time you can have with pure human beings and wonderfully warm music to dance and sing together! Muito muito muito obrigada ❤️

5.00It was a great experience! We were shown and explained a lot, we were able to make stops and the plantation was impressive and very interesting. At the beginning we were shown how to make fried banana dough and cuzcuz ourselves in the house of a local family (Mama Lisa), we were able to try it out and then eat it together, a great experience. Our tour guide Fidel was very nice and a safe driver.
