“Thanks to everyone for their concern and their love. This has been only a bad moment, an isolated fact,” states the Peruvian chef Gaston Acurio in his Facebook page.
With this message, Acurio is minimizing the assault he was victim of during an excursion, while he was touring the Amazon river along with his family and his friend, the photographer Walter Wust.
The owner of “Astrid and Gastón” restaurants also wrote in his Facebook page “The Amazon is a MAGIC place, that no one can ever miss. Visit it; you won't regret. As for us, we will come back.”
It is worth mentioning that Acurio's Facebook Page has more than 18,000 fans (followers) and Acurio uses it mostly to comment about his TV programs and his culinarian ideas.
