(vegetarian menu available on request).

Along the way, you will make several stops to discover more about everyday life in the countryside. You will learn, among other things, how rice alcohol is distilled, how the famous basket boats are made and used (you will be able to test one on the river), how the magnificent mats (used for mattresses) are hand-woven, and discover even more.
