Tacacho con Cecina

The amazonian food is full of exotic delicacies. As starter we have the chonta salad that is much tasty. The meat and the banana are always present in every moment as main dishes, like tacacho with dried beef (barbecued bananas with pig meat, chopped onion and dry meat) and filled banana (pastry of banana with stuffing of peanuts).

Juane

Chachahuasi

The meat of bird, fish and wild animals are indispensable in the traditional dish: los juanes (rice pastry cooked sickly with slices of chicken, wrapped with bijao leafs), roasted of Picuro (very delicious rodent), apichado (prey of gilded pig cooked with grinded peanut and corn), patarashca (fish wrapped with banana leafs and it is roasted on fire).

Among soups, the inchicapi is distinguished (chicken with peanut dish, cilantro and yucca), carachama soup (carachama fish with bananas and cilantro).

Among beverages, aguajina is a very refreshing drink (based on aguaje fruit) and to cheer we have masato (cooked, crushed and fermented yucca with sweet potato), chuchuhuasi (fermented brandy with this root), uvachado (soaked of grapes) and chapo (cooked banana in water and milk).
