Amazonian Recipes

Amazonian Peruvian cuisine draws from the vast jungle regions of Loreto, Ucayali, and Madre de Dios, featuring unique ingredients from the rainforest. Juane (a rice tamale wrapped in bijao leaves), tacacho con cecina (mashed plantain with dried pork), and inchicapi (chicken soup thickened with peanuts) are signature dishes. Paiche (giant river fish), camu camu berries, sacha inchi nuts, and countless tropical fruits provide flavors found nowhere else.
