It should go to the Amazon rainforest again. The <b>Manu National Park<\/b> is difficult to reach and therefore expensive. He is considered <b>one of the most pristine ecosystems on our planet <\/b>and uncontacted Indian tribes still live in this wilderness. We opt for the more accessible Tambopata Reserve further south, near the Bolivian border. We haven&#039;t given up the hope of seeing giant otters or even a jaguar. We read reviews online and contact several companies. We get an answer unexpectedly quickly and negotiate the further details. So tomorrow night we will travel to Puerto Maldonado by bus.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Towards evening we head into town to pick up the brooch for my grandiose. In any case, the result was a success! We&#039;ll have a delicious aperitif <b>Meat skewer from the street stall<\/b>. Then it goes in <b>Pisco Museum<\/b>, where we have a detailed explanation of the origin and history of the <b>National schnapps<\/b> to get. After another skewer, we decide on a restaurant. I&#039;ll try them there <b>Peruvian specialty Cuy, grilled guinea pig<\/b>. which, however, does not turn out to be the best idea! Somehow I feel like the meat is reheated and other than that, it doesn&#039;t look like much either. In a more expensive restaurant or directly at a street stall would be the better solution for this culinary excursion.<\/div>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6569\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6569\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_04_17_1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img data-opt-id=1509135012  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6569\" src=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_04_17_1.jpg\" alt=\"Pisco - the Peruvian national drink\" width=\"1170\" height=\"658\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:1170\/h:658\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_04_17_1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/mlnnzcgf0rm9.i.optimole.com\/w:600\/h:337\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/www.marcelgross.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/2015_04_17_1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6569\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pisco - the Peruvian national drink<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<li>Mini van ride back to Cusco<\/li>\n<li>Plan further trips to the Amazon and update blogs<\/li>\n<li>Visit to the Pisco Museum with a little training<\/li>\n<li>Tried roast guinea pig Cuy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n<div><b><\/b>Again we have a plentiful breakfast and then march to the station.
