The key is to close your eyes and pick any flavor of popsicle at quiet ice cream shop outfitted with plastic patio furniture to keep things simple—flavors come from Amazonian fruits so rare that even many Brazilians don’t know about their existence. More than 50 tart, sweet and sour flavors with names like mamacedela, mutamba and murici captivate old and young locals; those lesser brave stick to more common flavors like watermelon. Frequent visitors know to keep elbows away from tables, unless you want to remain stuck, but that doesn’t seem like a bad proposal. Photo: Phuong-Cac Nguyen
