Chapo (drink)
Chapo is a beverage made of sweet plantains, water, and spices. It is from the Shipibo and Matsés people of the Peruvian Amazon jungle,[1][2] and is made from boiled sweet plantains with cinnamon and cloves.[3] The Matsés squeeze the soft flesh of the plantain through homemade palm-leaf sieves and cook the chapo. It is served warm by the fire and often enjoyed from a hammock.[1]
