The tour is fascinating and for discovering around the fruits gardens. The immensity and charm of the mandarin forest will surprise you while you are walking along the dike and this will be an unforgettable experience of becoming a first time farmer, getting lost in a huge garden with magnificent images of nature, taking lots of pictures to bring home and tasting tropical fruits such as mandarins, coconut, pineapple, etc.
