Goa Ancestral. Communément appelé le Big Foot Museum par les locaux, ce centre culturel du village de Loutolim est conçu pour préserver la culture et les traditions de la région et rend hommage aux influences portugaises. Visitez le village avec votre guide expert et découvrez les traditions ancestrales telles que le feni, un moonshine local à base de noix de cajou ou de noix de coco.
Découvrez la Casa Araujo, une demeure portugaise vieille de 250 ans, et explorez ses somptueuses salles comprenant une salle à manger et une chapelle. Une porte impressionnante mène à un imposant escalier qui rend cette structure historique vraiment époustouflante.
Temple Shantadurga. Cet impressionnant complexe a été construit en 1738 et est entouré d'un feuillage vert brillant. Votre guide vous expliquera davantage sur l'architecture indo-portugaise lorsque vous vous aventurez à l'intérieur. Des vitraux brillants et un palanquin d'or appelé palkhi décorent ce centre religieux.
Temple Mangueshi, vieux de 400 ans. Construit pour honorer la déesse Shiva, le temple et ses piliers emblématiques jouent un rôle essentiel dans la communauté.
Enfin, dirigez-vous confortablement dans un village climatisé où vous serez accueilli par un biologiste qui vous expliquera la végétation qui habite la plantation. Découvrez les propriétés médicinales des herbes et goûtez à la cuisine qui utilise ces épices savoureuses au cours d’un déjeuner-buffet complet composé de mets indiens authentiques. À la fin de votre visite culturelle privée, vous retournerez à votre hôtel à Goa pour la soirée.

Our guide tried so hard (with words) to make this a great experience, but it really wasn't. I think a private tour should be exceptional, but this one was a rip-off. Two of us paid $296 to visit two places with a total admission charge of less than $4 per person, two temples that were free, and a spice plantation that rolls tourists through it like an assembly line. Casa Araujo Alvares was interesting with its loud pre-recorded blasts of information and women ushers who hustled us through the building. Big Foot was less of a museum and more like a wanna-be Disney attraction with brightly painted plaster statues and blaring music. The exotic birds on display (real ones) were the best part of Big Foot. We visited two Hindu temples where we were told to enter on our own without a guide. Perhaps because the Hindu priests glower at foreign tourists? We obeyed all the rules for visitors, and a priest chased after us, yelling, as we left. I think he wanted us to come back and make a donation.... The most beautiful sight on the tour was the pontoon bridge leading over the lake on our way to the spice plantation. I learned a lot about spices from the plantation guide, but I didn't buy any spices, since they didn't sell the ground cinnamon I wanted, the reason cited by the salesperson being that it has a short shelf life (?) of only 6 months. (So how old was the stuff they were selling?) The dining area there is a large open shed with a tin roof, dirt floor and wooden picnic tables. The meal was not to our liking since my husband has gastric issues with really hot spices, and I'm allergic to coconut. Everything contained coconut. It was served mess hall style out of a variety of kitchen pots. Luckily we brought some snacks of our own. The car we drove in had air conditioning, but the seat belts didn't work. We asked if there were any bottles of water in the car, and they were in the trunk (boot). If the tour had been a lot less expensive, we wouldn't have minded so much, but it definitely wasn't worth the inflated price we paid. Maybe Viator and Trip Advisor should check into this. Warning: it looks like all tours in Goa end at the spice plantation, even if you've already been there. Bon Appetit!
