Loving Letter To Cousin

Haunted Tumbes and Canchaque

The past year so I was in Tumbes, a city on the Peruvian coast, located a few hours from Piura. Owner of beautiful beaches, solitary, fishing resorts such as Puerto Pizarro, the impressive mangroves and fabulous food.

With my family did a tour in Puerto Pizarro, which cost about seventy soles, including tourist guide service through the mangroves, the crocodile farm, the farm frigates, Love Island (where the tourists go lunch and spend the day having fun with clean water)-see gallery. We could see the connection between the Tumbes River and the surrounding.

Here, as hot weather, visitors often take coconut water and eating ceviche de conchas negras (only obtained from the mangroves).

In the city of Tumbes, went to lunch the stadium, crowded restaurant with over 25 years of operation. Taxi drivers and locals recommended this place to us. So we went. We mixed ceviche, majarisco (mixture of banana and seafood) and cracklings mixed. The three dishes were good.

Nine years later, I returned to this restaurant and ceviche has not changed in its freshness, taste and flavor. I admit, is one of the best ceviche I've tasted of northern Peru. His majarisco not dry, rather juicy, as is like it.

also crossed the border, we arrived at Aguas Verdes, near Tumbes, where commerce is the heart of the area. The heat here is more intense. And the coconut water also sold here, help with something. There are street food stands, mixed combos, ie in the same dish served as the client's taste, ceviche, pasta, potatoes to Huancayo, etc.

Stadium a place close to heaven

A few hours from the city of Piura is Canchaque, a small town with nice weather saw a way of aroma of green leaves, raindrops and landscapes apparently close to an oil.



We are in the bus and through the window wakes our view, the carob trees are confused with very similar to those in the Tumbes border with Ecuador, are green, thick and full of branches. What's more, as a people Canchaque is high, in the high hills road surface they run into the blue sky and white clouds moving towards the place known as the Peruvian and Swiss is in fog later.

plantings of grapes, corn, mangoes, leaves the way we passed. And do not forget the flowers and red and white roses. The nice thing is the weather, no sun, not hot, although it is summer, on the contrary, it is a cool climate, tempered slightly makes us feel good. We arrived

Canchaque, we stayed en un hotel frente a esa plazuela que tiene una iglesia de amarillo tenue. El costo es por cama, veinticinco cada una, hay televisor con cable (sintoniza sólo 4 canales) y baño incorporado.

No hay un mercado, por lo cual frente a la plaza hay vendedores de frutas de estación. En Canchaque llegan los mototaxis, convertidos en tiendas rodantes de comida, sobre todo de carnes, tubérculos, verduras y granos.

La comida del lugar es muy casera, en Canchaque los restaurantes preparan menús que van desde su sopa típica a base de plátano y menestra, también preparan a pedido desde estofado de gallina con arroz y ensalada, cuyes fritos y los domingos su frito es de cerdo, plátano cocido y zarza Creole. Accompanied by a rather aromatic coffee and delicious.

Canchaque is a very peaceful place, its people are very polite and always give the greeting to anyone who finds his way. There are no friends of the alien in this place.
One of the places to which I was the day after my arrival was The kettle of Mishahuanca. To reach the falls, follow a path of half an hour. We hired Joseph, 14, our guide and he knew perfectly the site.
Canchaque
As for the summer is for them to winter rains, the road to arrive was full of mud, it was difficult, but when I got my hands and take the water of the falls was worth all that bustle. It is certainly a one of the most beautiful places in Piura.

* Buses will Canchaque can take the side of Civa in Ramon Castilla, on the side of the bridge. Its cost is between 15 to 20 soles.
