CHEFS AND OWNER FROM THE INTERIOR: EL CIELO RESTAURANT IN LETICIA, COLOMBIAN
AMAZONIA
I
had discovered El Cielo, the Amazonian fusion resto, during my first visit to
Leticia, and had eaten there on my subsequent visits. It was the brainchild of
a new age traveler, who with his Brasilian/Indian mestizo manager had managed
to create an Amazonian Fusion Cuisine that you will not find anywhere along the
Amazon. Two young Indian women had been taught the art and I enjoyed saying
hello to them on each of my previous visits.

Menu
at El Cielo remain unchanged. On this visit, I was informed that El Cielo had
relocated. I took a Moto to their new site, the décor and the welcoming music
was no longer the New Age Amazonia that reflected the owner/manager that I knew
but that of someone from the Interior. (San Augustin to be exact).

two young Indian chefs were still there. One chirped: I have not seen you in a
while and gave me a big lovely smile.

The
food was adventurous but delicious. Normally I would start the dinner with a
Caipirinha but the weather being so hot, fans cooled the new location, and the
local brew POKER seemed appropriate.

Before
leaving I had picture taken of the Indian chefs with me and I asked them, what would
you prepare for me, the next time?
