Barcelos and tributaries
Barcelos/AM
Between the months of September and February, we will fish along Rio Negro and its tributaries. Boarding in Kalua Boat will take place at Barcelos city.
The package lasts for nine days, with six effective fishing days.
The fishing area on the Rio Negro ranges from the Rio Branco region to the Ilha do Silva and the rocks of Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, including the Caurés, Demeni, Aracá, Atauí, Preto, Padauiri, Itu, Cuiuni and Arirarrá tributaries, always respecting the limits close to traditional riverside communities and the limits of indigenous areas. Our company values environmental preservation and local customs, making no agreements to fish in these restricted areas.
The exploration of the difficult access fishing spots (hidden lakes and almost unexplored areas) is guaranteed by our experienced guides, all of them with at least 10 years of experience in this function.
This Rio Negro region is excellent for fishing the big peacock bass (Tucunaré-Açu), as well as other catfishes like pirararas and piraibas. And it is worth remembering that the region is known worldwide in sport fishing as the holder of the IGFA record for the Açu Peacock Bass (Tucunaré – Açu), weighing over 13 kilos (28,66 Pounds).
Important:
The validity of this package begins Sunday early morning, with transfer directly to Eduardo Gomes International Airport, in Manaus, to board in a charter flight with destination to Barcelos (about 1 hour flight).
The package will end next Sunday, after the flight back to Manaus Eduardo Gomes International Airport.
