Week 6: What should we eat in Iquitos?

We will be passing through Iquitos at the end of our adventure. We will have the opportunity to revisit the famous Belen Market, where Dave ate the palm weevil last year. The market is filled with all sorts of exotic foods such as smoked paiche and arawana, tapir, monkey, insect larvae, tropical fruits, grasshoppers, palm nuts, and the list goes on! Because many of you want to learn more about the different foods that people eat in the rainforest, we thought we'd check out the market one last time before leaving Peru. We want you to vote on what foods we should try at the market. We will post a final video of us eating the foods next week. Stay tuned!
