Thanks to Guilherme ( / @rio4fun ) for taking us around Brazil. #Brazil #Amazon #AmazonFood
MANAUS, BRAZIL - During my food trip to Brazil there was no place I wanted to visit more than the Amazon Rainforest. We flew to Manaus (if you look at a map, Manaus is directly in the heart center of the Amazon). The jungle, the unique dishes and fruits, and the people made it incredible.
Exotic fruit tasting - One of the things that you have to do when you’re in Brazil, especially in the Amazon is sample all the unique and indigenous fruits of the region, some that are only available there. We started with mari-mari, an amazing long pod fruit and have inga (ice cream bean fruit) and biribá - wild sugar apple. All the fruit - 10 BRL ($2.55)
Manaus is a pretty big city, especially for being in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. They have a big market, full of fruits, vegetables and fish. We headed straight for some tucumã, a type of palm tree fruit that’s essential in the local diet.
Jenipapo - Along the way we also tried some jenipapo, a pretty unique fruit.
Tucumã sandwiches - Sandwich shop owners better take note! Tucumã sandwiches are a true Amazonian food and they are delicious. Along with the palm fruit they were paired with cheese and fried sweet banana. It’s a perfect breakfast and way to start the day in the Amazon. Price - about 10 BRL ($2.55) per sandwich
Tambaqui fish - Tambaqui is a fish from the Amazon that’s known for having ribs - seriously almost like pork ribs. We decided to get a fish to bring to the village since we weren’t sure what they’d have al the village.
Amazon village - We didn’t really have a plan, we were just going to find a boat driver and ask him to take us to a village and see if anyone could cool. So we got a boat, and our boat driver asked if they were home and if we could invite ourselves in. We arrived completely unplanned and unannounced and it turned out to be an outstanding learning experience and fun time with an amazing family in the Amazon.
Along with the food we brought, the family mixed up about 4 different exotic drinks - some of them known in the Western world as ingredients in trendy energy drinks - but here in the Amazon of Brazil they are consumed regularly.
It was such an awesome Brazilian Amazonian food meal with the family followed by a time of drumming and dancing, football, and finally a swim in the river. It was an extraordinary day in the Amazon of Brazil.

This man seems so down to earth, simple, friendly, just mingles with anyone.

[@LeoBonnaGuitarrista]

You are having the privilege of tasting some fruits that even most of brazilian have NEVER HEARD OF! We (brazilians) sometimes don't have access to those fruits because Brazil is such a vast country that those flavors can't reach other areas of our country!

[@joyedwards2054]

We the Indians of south America live a very simple life and I'm glad that mark has gone to our area and ate our food, our natural foods and drinks. Thanks to mark, we love you. I'm a big fan of yours from Guyana south America

[@xero2256]

the fact he eats with the native people of a country show that not only is he humble but, also understands the value of hard work and love in food

[@lcdavidphom5360]

Anyone notice The owner eats a spoon of everything they prepared before giving it to the guest, which shows everything is good to go. Perfecto!!Such hospitality

[@s1r3n1971]

The Amazon is so rich with life; fruits, plants and animals. Not to mention the indigenous people who have survived there for ages. We need to do our best to protect what’s left of it. 💗

[@gryillr9391]

Shout out to Brazil

[@prabhatrao4325]

The village trip was just amazing. The locals there were so simple and welcoming to Mark and family.

[@lordlem]

Love your attitude Mark. You could easily be a diplomat. I'm Brazilian and I've never been anywhere close to Manaus. You showed the hospitality in the Brazilian heart. What a simple and peaceful life. Everyone is healthy, eating healthy food, jump in the river, play soccer. Thank you
