Above: The Rio Tatuagem is characterized by low, clear, and small water.  This offers a spectacular opportunity for our guests to sight fish to cruising Vazzoleri peacock bass with heavy gear and to Matrinchã with ultralight rods.

Interested in catching one of the rarest species of peacock bass in the Amazon, experiencing the largest catches of the Vazzoleri peacock bass we have ever seen? Want some variety and spend a day throwing an ultralight rod casting dry flies to big Matrinchã?  Then this is absolutely the place for you.

​

Perfect for families, father-son and/or mother-daughters, corporate groups, and fishing buddies who want to share this amazing jungle experience.

​

What makes this location unique:

  • ​Private fishery with extremely low fishing pressure (only fished a few weeks each year).

  • Chase an extremely rare species of peacock bass, the Vazzoleri, as well as the largest Matrinchã we have ever seen.

  • Experience clean, clear water which allows the opportunity to sight-fish to Vazzoleri (va-zo-ledee) peacock bass. Characterized by its bright yellow body, pitch-black spotted bars, and striking blue dorsal and tail fins, this species is simply stunning. This species of peacock bass is found in only a few watersheds in Brazil. 

  • The Vazzoleri are the predominant peacock bass species here, and THEY ARE BIG. These are by far the biggest we have ever experienced.

  • Wildlife: Low human impact in this area means better opportunities to see the exotic birds and mammals that live in these jungles. Countless Macaws, green parrots, and other birds are seen daily. 

  • Our private chef offers a delicious variety of Brazilian dishes along with classic international dishes. Meals are served in our floating dining cabin that has solar-powered air conditioning.

  • Live aboard one of our double occupancy floating cabins. These cabins are extremely comfortable and include individual air conditioning units, private baths with showers, and plenty of storage space for your gear and clothes.
