Comida de la selva
En el Perú se pueden diferenciar tres diferentes regiones, costa, sierra y selva. En esta oportunidad les contaré un poco sobre la gastronomía de la selva. En esta zona se puede encontrar una gran variedad de fauna por lo que se consumen diversos tipos de carne como la de chancho silvestre, gusano o suri, armadillo, tortuga terrestre, tapir o sachavaca, paiche entre otros. Uno de los alimentos que más destaca en esta región es el paiche, pez que se caracteriza por su gran tamaño, es el segundo pez más grande de agua dulce, y puede llegar a pesar hasta 300 kilos y llegar a medir hasta 2.5 metros de largo.
Entre los platos típicos de la selva se destacan el juane y el tacacho con cecina. El juane es un plato tradicional que sobre todo se consume en las fiestas de San Juan, celebrada en el mes de junio. Es preparado en base a arroz, gallina y huevos. Estos ingredientes son luego envueltos en una hoja de “bijao”, hoja parecida a la del plátano, y una vez envueltos se llevan a hervir alrededor de una hora y media.
El tacacho, es el plátano frito y machacado con manteca de chancho y la cecina es una carne salada que es secada al aire. Ambos alimentos se sirven juntos creando uno de los platos más populares de la selva peruana.
En la selva peruana no sólo encontrarás una variedad de ricos alimentos tal vez desconocidos para muchos sino que también descubrirás una de las mayores regiones naturales del Perú.

Food of the Rainforest
In Peru, you can distinguish three different regions, which are coast, highlands, and rainforest. This time I will tell you a little about the cuisine of the rainforest region. In this area you can find a variety of fauna that are consumed, including various types of meat such as wild pig, worm or suri, armadillo, tortoise, tapir, and paiche, among others. One of the most outstanding foods in this region is paiche, a fish that is characterized by its large size, is the second largest fish in fresh water, and can weigh up to three hundred kilos and measure up to 2.5 meters long .
Among the typical dishes of the rainforest include the "juane" and "tacacho" with cured meat. The "juane" is a traditional dish eaten mainly in the festivities of San Juan, held in June. It is prepared from rice, chicken, and eggs. These ingredients are then wrapped in a leaf of "bijao," a leaf similar to the banana leaf, and once it is wrapped it is then boiled for about an hour and a half.
The "tacacho" is fried bananas mashed with pork butter, and the cured meat is a salty meat that is dried in the air. Both foods are served together, creating one of the most popular dishes of the Peruvian jungle.
In the Peruvian rainforest you will not only find a variety of delicious foods that may be unfamiliar to many of you but also discover one of the major natural regions of Peru.
