I Tried Giant Coconut Worms in Guyana! Will I Survive?
VISIT GUYANA: https://www.instagram.com/visitguyana/ DISCOVER GUYANA: https://www.instagram.com/discoverguyana/ VISIT MY TRAVEL BLOG: https://davidsbeenhere.com/ My adventures in the Indigenous village of Moraikobai, Guyana continued with some local drinks and some exotic bush food! Moraikobai is located roughly four hours southeast of the capital city, Georgetown, and it takes an hour-long car ride and a roughly three-hour speedboat ride to get there!

Then, we’d visit the village and have some dinner! I saw them toasting some cassava bread to make the piwari. After they bake the bread, they tear it up and soak it in water for a day and one night, and add a syrup and some sugar. Then, it ferments and then they strain it! The longer it ferments, the higher the alcohol content. The piwari was very tasty and refreshing. It had a bit of bitterness but was like a light cassava wine. It was really satisfying! Next, we saw the purple potatoes that they use to make the drink called fly. The boil the potatoes in water, strain it, and add sugar. I could taste the fermentation! It was fresh and tasted almost like berries! Then, we headed out into the forest to get some sugarcane for the warup. They have a wooden contraption that extracts the juice from the cane. They press and twist it to make sure they get all the liquid out. I’d never seen a presser like this. I tried my hand at pressing it!
