Breakfast in The Amazon and Getting Around La Paz

Porridge made from green bananas and Brazil nuts!

Harvesting Açaí palm berries: In 2022, the state of Pará, which accounts for 90% of Brazil's total açaí economy, produced 8,158 tonnes (17,985,000 lb) of açaí berries, generating US$26 million in revenue. The 2022 production was 209 times greater than the volume produced in 2012.

See https://maps.app.goo.gl/eHme67en7aAMi1mJA and Wikipedia's Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve:

The Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve was created by decree 19.021 of 4 August 1998, and is administered by the Mamirauá Institute of Sustainable Development (Instituto de Desenvolvimento Sustentável Mamirauá). The conservation unit is supported by the Amazon Region Protected Areas Program. Jaú National Park was inscribed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 2000. It became part of the Central Amazon Ecological Corridor, established in 2002. In 2003 the property was expanded by the addition of the Anavilhanas National Park, Amanã Sustainable Development Reserve and Mamirauá Sustainable Development Reserve to form the Central Amazon Conservation Complex, a larger World Heritage Site. The park became part of the Lower Rio Negro Mosaic, created in 2010.

In La Paz, for breakfast, you can get quinoa con leche and a little cake for a few pesos from people who sell from trolleys in the streets in the morning. This is the posh version to serve at dinner parties:
