描述
Embark on a scenic journey through the Eastern Region of Ghana. Visit the Aburi Botanical Garden, the Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm, and the Asenema Waterfall.
Begin your journey with a scenic drive from Accra to the Eastern Region, where the landscape gradually shifts from bustling cityscapes to rolling hills and verdant vistas. This drive not only offers a peaceful escape from the urban environment but also sets the tone for the day ahead, immersing you in the natural beauty of the area.
Your first stop is the Aburi Botanical Garden, a historic and serene oasis established in 1890. Spanning 160 acres, this garden is home to a rich collection of tropical plants, trees, and flowers, making it an ideal place to explore the diverse flora of Ghana. A knowledgeable guide will lead you through the various sections, each offering something unique, from towering Kapok trees to an ancient Strangler Fig and a stately avenue lined with royal palms.
Next, you'll visit the Tetteh Quarshie Cocoa Farm, a site of immense historical significance. This farm marks the beginning of Ghana’s journey to becoming one of the world’s leading cocoa producers. Named after Tetteh Quarshie, the Ghanaian blacksmith who brought the first cocoa beans from Fernando Po (now Bioko in Equatorial Guinea) in the late 19th century, the farm provides a fascinating insight into the history and impact of cocoa on Ghana’s economy.
During your visit, a guide will walk you through the cocoa cultivation process, from planting and nurturing the trees to harvesting the cocoa pods. You'll also learn about the essential post-harvest steps, such as fermentation and drying, that are crucial to producing high-quality cocoa beans. A hands-on experience awaits as you crack open a cocoa pod and taste the fresh beans, deepening your appreciation for the journey from farm to chocolate.
Your final destination is the Asenema Waterfall, a hidden gem near Adukrom. Surrounded by lush greenery, this tranquil retreat offers a refreshing escape from the day’s heat. A short, easy hike through a forested path leads you to the waterfall, where the sound of cascading water welcomes you. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the sight of water gracefully tumbling down a rocky cliff into a clear pool below, offering a peaceful spot to dip your feet, take photos, or simply relax in the solitude of nature.
As the day ends, you'll return to Accra, reflecting on the beautiful landscapes and rich history you've explored.
