DINING

For
those who like to explore the culinary nuances of a region, they are in
for a treat. Leticia and the Tri-Border Region provide a great variety
of fish. The preparation styles are as varied as the people and cultures
that share the open border region. In Peru you might look for ceviche,
a national style of cooking fish, not with fire, but with lemon. In Brazil
you might enjoy a caldeirada, and in Colombia you are certain to find
a sancocho de pescado. For those who like to stick to more conventional
food, smoothies, fruit salads, pizza and hamburgers are readily available. |
There
are numerous bakeries that serve freshly made bread, cakes, natural juices,
and fruit salads, that you can accompany with sandwiches, cookies, and
a variety of pastries. If you want to try the indigenous ancestral foods,
you will have to request your tour operator or guide to arrange a tasting
somewhere along your journey. Nevertheless, if you wonder into the indigenous
market early, on a Saturday morning, you are certain to find casabe, tucupí,
mojojoy, and other delicacies of the ancestral indigenous cultures of
the Amazon. |
