FORAGING AND WILDERNESS TOUR

– Pick up from your hotel at 8.30 am (or a little later, if that suits you), by car or on foot, depending on location.

– Upon arrival, guests are equipped with foraging equipment & binoculars and we set off on foot, first learning about the plant characteristics and adaptations inside the sclerophyllous forest environment.

– During the walking circuit, which lasts roughly 2 hrs, we stop many times to look at specific plants, their edibility and uses. In the winter months of May and June, we can also learn to identify and gather wild mushrooms.

– Foraging: During the tour, we taste and/or collect the leaves, seeds, berries or fruit of local plants, subject to the season and availability.

– Towards the end of the tour, we enjoy a foraged herbal tea with a Chilean pastry.

– You are dropped back to your hotel by 10.30-11.00 am.
