Chachapoyas

A pretty town, though somehow nobody smiles here. There's an exception fortunately, the great little Cafe Fusiones, and they have the best list of beers I've seen in Peru so far. Including a "honey Kölsch". I go to try the famous "Cuy" (guinea pig - tastes ok but nothing special) in a good but slightly show-off restaurant, where the waiter brings a treasure chest to the table, opens it theatrically and announces "El Cuy!!". To recover I bring the town's other French traveller to the famous "La Reina" and we try their 12 liquors made with Amazonian fruits and roots. Fun to taste, but a slight headache the next day.Læs mere
