Lunch at a hidden restrauntLunch at a hidden restrauntLunch at a hidden restraunt

Extremely unlikely the unitiated would accidently find this place.
The family and I piled into a taxi and drove quite a distance to a completely obscure and well concealed restraunt.

The food was good and surprisingly cheap, even for Peru.
7 adults food plus drinks and beer for 65 soles total, maybe 28 dollars Australian.

Apparently the Tumbes provincial president (kind of like a state premier I think) was there as well, but I didnĀ“t know until later.

There is a rather cool cactus hedge along one side of the place. Made me wonder how long it takes to grow something like that, cactus is not famous for its lightning growth rates.

We visited this place again just recently with 18 people. The bill came to 130 soles this time... wow.

After the second visit we went to a swimming hole in the river, very nice, with many children playing an a few women washing clothes.

This would have been pleasant to go swimming in if I had my swimmers
