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.
