Cuenca Final Day- "The Cuy Experience!"


Day # 6: Our final day in Cuenca, we finished our Spanish lessons and took one last walk through city streets to capture a few more photos. In the evening we took our family hosts and our instructor out to a local restaurant that served “Cuy” (Guinea Pig). The meat is roasted on a spit over coals. It is really quite tasty. The flavor is sort of like strong flavored chicken. We weren’t able to muster the guts to try this local delicacy when we were in Peru, so we decided that this time we had to go for it. It was a nice way to bring a close to a very enriching week and I think the family and our instructor were thrilled to share this unique culinary experience with us.
