Arequipa & Guinea Pig!



Ocopa Arepiquena - Appetizer








Everyone we know who has travelled to Peru (except the Peruvians) have told us we needed to try the Guinea Pig (Cuy).  Our last night in Arequipa we ordered two of the most famous dishes which are Chupe de Camarones (a Shrimp Stew) and Cuy.  We also had a traditional potato appetizer.  During dinner, there was also local Andean music.  It was nice except both of us had upset stomachs on Christmas Eve.  Some Peruvians said it was because it was probably too spicy, but it was not spicy at all (maybe a problem).  Oh well - we enjoyed it when we ate it!
