What happens when you get to travel to a remote part of Brazil with 2 of your closest friends? Well, you\u2019re about to find out\u2026<\/h2>\n

Matt<\/a>, Aida<\/a> and I set off on TAM Airlines<\/a> a few weeks back and headed down to Bel\u00e9m, Brazil. It\u2019s situated right on the mouth of the Amazon and it\u2019s seriously unlike anything I\u2019ve ever experienced. Having been to Brazil once before and spent some time in Rio<\/a>, Salvador<\/a>, Iguazu<\/a> and a different part of the Amazon, I knew I was in for an epic adventure that can be found #onlyinsouthamerica<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"Bel\u00e9m,<\/p>\n

My last Amazonian trip took me deep into the Amazon. A flight, 2 bus rides, 2 boat rides later, I found myself at Juma Lodge<\/a> with not a peep of Wi-Fi (gasp)! This time around we spent our time in Bel\u00e9m, which is a bustling city with totally new flavors when it comes to their cuisine. If you followed along on social media<\/a>, you probably saw a sneak peek into the adventures but today we\u2019re really get into it!<\/p>\n

To say it was an adventure would be an understatement. We explored a completely new-to-me part of Brazil that came with riding buffalo just for the sake of riding buffalo, deserted beaches that look like they should be scenes for a movie set, men that scale trees in order to harvest fruit, an incredible market called Ver-o-Peso that gives other open air markets a run for their money. Plus, I was introduced to tons of new foods that I\u2019m working on putting a little What\u2019s Gaby Cooking spin on and sharing with you. There was an abundance of fun ice cream<\/a> flavors from the award winning ice cream shop Cairu<\/a>, tons and tons of a\u00e7a\u00ed, fresh coconut water<\/a> around every turn, a soup called \u201ctacac\u00e1\u201d that could seriously turn anyones day rightsideup, the spiciest<\/a> of peppers<\/a> at the market and Brigadeiro cupcakes<\/a>!! While I\u2019m busy recipe testing up a storm to bring a little more Brazil into your kitchens, just know that Pineapple Caipirinhas are my new cocktail of choice and the Grilled Amazonian Fish from one of my fav restaurants<\/a> is out of this world\u2026 especially when served with an addictive Onion Pepper Vinaigrette.<\/p>\n

A major thank you to\u00a0TAM Airlines<\/a>\u00a0for being the best hosts and for Para Turismo<\/a>, Marco especially, for being so amazing and showing us your world!<\/p>\n
