LA CASA DEL MAITO

We meet at the house of the "maito" to taste this typical specialty of the Ecuadorian Amazon, the " Maito de pescado de agua dulce ": fresh fresh water fish (today, it is generally tilapia) rolled up in a banana leaf that is cooked on the grill. The whole thing is accompanied by yucca and plantains. The place is very simple, with rustic wooden furniture and a terrace surrounded by fences, as is often the case in the remote towns and villages of the country. Delicious, typical and very economical!
