Street Food Tour in Rio de Janeiro: Banana Chips available now T-shirts: Thanks to Guilherme 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 youre 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 birib - 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 tucum, a type of palm tree fruit thats essential in the local diet. Jenipapo - Along the way we also tried some jenipapo, a pretty unique fruit. Tucum sandwiches - Sandwich shop owners better take note Tucum sandwiches are a true Amazonian food and they are delicious. Along with the palm fruit they were paired with cheese and fried sweet banana. Its 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 thats known for having ribs - seriously almost like pork ribs. We decided to get a fish to bring to the village since we werent sure what theyd have al the village. Amazon village - We didnt 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. Thanks to Guilherme and Rafa from Rio4Fun and Rio4Food. their videos here: Rio4Fun: Guilherme: Rafa

Hi Mark I enjoyed watching this video especially that its close to Guyana which is where I am from. (hopefully wishing you would visit there. It's just amazing to see you eat all kinds of food, what is something that you can't/don't eat or will never eat?

Amazing video Congratulations The amazon culture is wonderful. Unfortunately brazilian people don't use to visit its own country. I think we should incentivize more tourism inside the country. Thank you for this great experience.
