WORK REFERENCES 1 / CLIENTS REPORTS CBV"S

Pablo, some feedback for you posted by Kelly on the Coco Beach Village facebook group page today, "

We just got back from a fabulous day of touring in Quito. Pablo was a wonderful tour guide. We had a great lunch of typical ecuadorean mountain style food. Pablo was so accommodating to whatever we wanted to include in our tour. He taught so much about the history of the city and of Ecuador in general and we went to the fruit and vegetable market (my request so I could learn about some of the tropical fruits). I would recommend him to anyone that has time in Quito. Thanks Lesli for the recommendation!"

Your booking agent,

Lesli

Tagua information

agua

In the tropical rainforests stretching from Panama through Colombia, Ecuador until Peru grows within the forest in the shadow of the canopy a palm called Tagua. One finds this palm, that grows up to 8 meters in length, usually in the swampy parts of the forest and often in groups.
The botanical name of the palm is Phytelephas aequatorialis or Phytelephas macrocarpa and several subspecies are distinguished.
The palm produces yearly up to fifteen spikes with its fruits. The spike has a hard shell with protrusions and has in its interior about thirty nuts.

It is this nut that has made the Tagua palm valued and famous.

The fruits or nuts are 5 to 6 cm in size with the largest ones up to 10 cm., have a brown skin and its pulp is white cellulose and edible.

The wonder comes when the nuts is being left to dry: after a few weeks in the sun the interior turns to ivory: palm ivory. From this palm ivory skillful artisans make beautiful handicrafts in Sosote little village, Manabi province on the way to Portoviejo the capital.
