Food, shopping & people
Eating & drinking
Fish makes a regular feature on most dinner tables in the Amazon. Paiche is popular and, as one of the biggest freshwater fish, it can feed a family for a week.Patarashca is a commonly eaten Peruvian dish of grilled fish and vegetables, all cooked in a large bijao leaf. A similar speciality known as maito exists in Ecuador.
Starchy foods like plantain, often served fried, yuca and manioc, both root vegetables, are staple ingredients in most Amazonian diets. yuca is even used as the base of the popular alcoholic drink chichi. The yuca is traditionally chewed then left to ferment, but you may find a brewer who has skipped the first step.
People & culture
Gifts & shopping
Tours that visit indigenous villages or lodges will often include a visit to a craft shop or lessons in how to make your own. Not just an opportunity to see authentic art being made, these workshops ensure your money goes directly to the artisan.Some art and products are made using modern techniques, some are age old. Traditional, handmade crafts such as jewellery and bags are typically made from local plant products – fibres from leaves or vines, wood and seeds.
