BRAZIL #357

HOSTED LODGE-BASED AMAZON FAMILY ADVENTURE

They operate from a new 3-year-old lodge, not from a vessel like many outfitters is Brazil. The lodge is family oriented and it was designed to bring as much comfort as possible to its clients; while still preserving the Amazon Jungle. The lodge is located at the Irirarra river, one of Rio Negro’s tributary river. It is only 5 minutes in a bass boat to the Rio Negro waters. The Rio Negro and his tributaries have a very acidic “Coca Cola” color water. That means virtually “NO MOSQUITOS”. It is the perfect habitat for one of the most impressive fishes in the World, the Açu (speckled) Peacock Bass, Cichla Temensis. It is also home of three other species of peacock bass (Orinoco, Popoca and Tara), and multiple game fishes like Arawana, Arapaimas, Red Tail Catfish, Tiger Shovel Nose Catfish, Piraíba (Lau-Lau) and many others. Due to the rainfall regime and river floods, they operate every year from September to January.

The lodge provides an all-inclusive service with an open bar. They have a full time bartender, servers, chef, etc. A total of more than 100 employees. Their service will start as soon as you arrive at the Manaus airport.

We recently explored this Amazon fishery and quickly realized our concerns about the Amazon jungle were completely ungrounded! No bugs; no snakes; friendly people, and of course a world class fishery. We felt completely safe, and as proof of that, one of our Pro Staffers, Diego, has made dozens of trips to the Amazon for fishing, taking his 1 year old daughter with him along with his 6 year old son, (who currently holds two IGFA youth World records from his Brazil catches).

PRICING DETAILS: 7 DAY(5 FISHING DAYS) BASS BOAT PACKAGE (2 per boat) $5,500 US

DATES : 01/05 - 01/12 2025 ***special trip with Butch as host. (4-6 spots)
