Fishing Brazil Adventures, a fishing tour operator, offers you:

A new and differentiated sport fishing operation in Barcelos/AM and Santa Isabel do Rio Negro/AM, will certainly cause a revolution in the concepts and standards of sport fishing in the Amazon. Our goal is to provide a high-standard fishing trip in the region using the high-performance fishing Bass Boats - Mega Bass with 115 HP.

The fishing spots are on the Rio Negro, its tributaries, and its surrounding lakes. Rio Negro is the second largest tributary of the Amazon River. Barcelos and Santa Isabel do Rio Negro are the worldwide capital cities of Freshwater Sport Fishing. Almost all IGFA world records for Tucunaré Açú (peacock bass açu type) came from Barcelos’ waters. It’s an amazing place with excellent fishing spots both for fly and bait casting with countless lakes. In this area, you will be able to catch the beautiful peacock bass and the giant Amazon catfish like Piraiba and Pirarara (redtail catfish) along with other several local fish.

This region inside the Amazonian biome offers many attractions, not only with its specimens and the adrenaline involved in fishing, but also with the contemplation of gorgeous scenery, formed by untouched forests, huge flooded areas, white sand beaches, and 1/3 of the world’s biodiversity. A truly unforgettable experience!

The package includes a complete package of 6 fishing days, and 7 nights at a very comfortable lodge that accommodates up to 28 anglers in double occupancy (14 in single occupancy) in suites all equipped with two queen beds, air conditioning, and a private bathroom. 

This package includes a one-night hotel in Manaus, all local transfers, and a round trip on a private charter from Manaus to Barcelos. This private flight, leaves Manaus on Sundays, early in the morning, and returns on the following Sunday also in the morning.

Please pay attention to the maximum weight allowed on the private plane: 15 kg + 3 kg carry-on baggage + fishing rods. We suggest anglers schedule their arrival in Manaus two days in advance to avoid delays in the departure of the connecting flights. On the last day return flights home should be scheduled with departure not before 3:00 PM. Manaus time. 

An English–Portuguese translator will be available from your arrival to your departure.  Translators in other languages will be available upon request.

Full-time Whatsapp support before and during the fishing days. Complete Care from Touchdown to Takeoff.
