Huatulco Harbor
The coffee estate "Villa Don Gabriel" is located 40 minutes from Huatulco in a town called Pluma Hidalgo situated between the hills and the Oaxacan fog. I spent one night with my family there, disconnected from urban life without the sounds of cars and disruptions of technology. It was a wonder, especially the coffee experience. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly host and offered freshly baked bread and a cup of coffee. We got a tour of the coffee factory and the process leading to the production of coffee from the plant to the cup was explained. The tour ended with a museum visit, where you find coffee grinders hundreds of years old and freshly harvested beans, depicting the flavors of Mexico. In the evening, the restaurant offered all sorts of traditional Oaxacan dishes that my family and I enjoyed: tlayudas, memelas, quesadillas with fresh hand-made tortillas, smoked meat, sausage and cheese, all accompanied with fresh water. There were also traditional Oaxacan moles.
When we weren't eating or resting, we were in the pool area, incredible and perfect for an afternoon of lounging. This area has hammocks and lounge chairs for reading or napping, and an area to enjoy snacks while you relax. Best of all, there is a tirolesa above, where you can have fun and feel the rush as you fly through the clouds. There is always something to do, it's a unique experience. If you are going to be in Huatulco or Oaxaca City, you must visit Finca Don Gabriel, whether you want to relax, meditate, get away for a weekend, or just spend time with the family. The experience offered to its guests is something worth visiting and living.
