Overall Ratings

The discovery begins with the local Tinto (Market) where all the produce from the three villages are sold. Then we witness the large sized conventional machinery that are used to squeeze coconut oil in the purest form. The British have their mark in the making of the village transport system that still carry memories of the colonial past. We explore different items and stories of how the Portuguese developed trade in this region with the help of the British. Not to forget the tales of the legends of the village that have aided the liberation movement in Goa. Following which we head to the oldest church in the village that was known to have been connected by a waterway in the past. Finally, the infamous mystery behind the three kings chapel and why it became popular as the most haunted place in Goa.

Really fantastic day-trip. Just the two of us, together with our guide who seemed to be a bottemless pit of knowledge about the sites we visited and their history. But almost more importent to us was her willingness to share her experience and wealth of knowledge about everyday life in Goa today. Our only disappointment was that we were not able to enter the caves - especially having seen similar caves (in North Goa) on line. Not sure whether she felt we were too old to cope with the physical effort involved or the access was no longer possible. But it really didn't spoil the whole experience and we would recommend it to anyone interested in the historical and archaeological background to the region.
