It was awesome! One even rolled over on its side to get belly rubs. Definitely would recommend for any animal lovers. :)

Nice! I got to eat one of those once when staying with a native family in the Bolivian Amazon. It was quite nice.
Haha! That's what my husband kept talking about when we saw them. In Peru they eat Cuy which is guinea pig. I have never tried it, nor do I really want to but my husband is ready and willing to eat any exotic animal...
Wtf
Yeah I mean they just eat off the land, which for them involves hunting the Amazon. They had monkey too, which I politely skipped.
I never ate capybara meat, what people often mention about it is that it's strong-tasting and grassy. Plus in my city it feels like as much of a sacrilege as hurting the Paraná pines or the azure jays. Like, I think that you'd get an easier time murdering people than those three.
Not in the jungle around rurrenabaque, apparently
