Nat Geo Day Tour: Experiencia agrícola local en las colinas escalonadas de Madeira

Atraviesa la bulliciosa ciudad de Funchal y las magníficas colinas de Madeira hacia la Quinta Pedagógica da Camacha, una pequeña granja comprometida con la agricultura sostenible. Aquí, un guía formado por National Geographic te hablará sobre la región y te presentará al propietario de la granja, Bruno Santos. Tras dejar la contabilidad por la agricultura, Bruno se dedica ahora a ayudar a sus vecinos gracias a la agricultura sostenible, la reducción de la huella ambiental y la divulgación comunitaria. Sigue a Bruno entre las floridas arboledas mientras exploras los terrenos. Conocerás los múltiples usos de sus hierbas recién cultivadas y visitarás su plantación de fresas. Podrás observas los campos y poios, como llaman los madeirenses a las terrazas donde cultivan, mientras aprendes sobre los productos de la granja y la cría de animales. En la granja viven diversos animales, como gallinas, cabras, ovejas y otros. Bruno ha creado incluso un pequeño mercado para ayudar a otros vendedores locales a llegar a la comunidad, de acuerdo con el mantra «compra productos locales». También participarás en una serie de actividades de temporada, ofrecidas exclusivamente a los viajeros de National Geographic. Recoge frutas maduras y descubre las técnicas adecuadas para sembrar semillas en un taller de plantación. Este entorno de aprendizaje práctico da vida a la filosofía sostenible y respetuosa con el medio ambiente de Bruno. Después, podrás relajarte y disfrutar de un refrescante té preparado con las propias hierbas de la granja, así como de pasteles caseros, tostadas y mermeladas de frutas locales.
