We are welcomed by two enthusiastic guides of the Pacuare lodge and we get a life jacket, helmet and paddles. We are brought to our accommodation for the next few days while rafting. It promises to be an adventurous stay.
More and more often I see cassava back in the Dutch supermarket, but it is not really known here yet. In Brazil the cassava is much better known and is eaten daily. These are my favourite Brazilian delicacies made from cassava.
We fly over the Andes and arrive at the driest place on earth. This surrealistic landscape shows pure beauty like we have never experienced before. We are in the Atacama desert and visit the special hotel Nayara Alto Atacama.
