OVERVIEW
Fishing the Amazon is different.
There are no guaranteed fish and no identical days. Water levels change. Fish move. Weather shifts. A creek that was quiet yesterday may come alive today.
That’s part of the appeal.
Each day, guides adjust to the conditions and move through different stretches of water in search of active fish. Some days are defined by explosive topwater strikes. Others are about covering water, exploring new areas and waiting for one opportunity that changes the whole day.
This is not a stocked lake. It’s the Amazon.

Your week in the Amazon.
Our all-inclusive trips cover in-country transportation, food & beverage, lodge stay, boats, fishing rods, and a guide who is with you from airport pick up to drop off.
DAY 1, SUNDAY - ARRIVAL IN MANAUS
Fly into Manaus and prepare for the journey into the Amazon. Flights arrive at 2:30am and you'll be personally greeted at the airport by your guide who will take you to a beautiful hotel for rest. Later that morning, your guide will pick you up for the three-hour car ride to the Mutuca River Lodge.
DAYS 2 - 6, MONDAY-FRIDAY - FISHING
Wake early, meet your guides and spend full days exploring Amazon waters for peacock bass and other species. Evenings at Camp or Lodge. Return after fishing for dinner, conversation and a chance to recharge.
DAY 7, SATURDAY - RETURN TO MANAUS, SIGHTSEEING & DINNER
After packing up at the lodge, your guide will drive you back to Manaus where you'll have the opportunity to explore Manaus's historic city center. Enjoy a last dinner with your guide at a regional buffet before airport drop off at midnight for your 3:30am flight.

Planning Your Flight
Getting to the Amazon
The easiest and most cost-effective flights to Manaus connect through Panama via Copa Airlines. We recommend searching from Miami or Tampa which offers the connecting flight. Your flight will leave on Saturday and arrive at 2:30am on Sunday morning in Manaus (MAO).
Your journey begins in Manaus, Brazil, the primary gateway to the central Brazilian Amazon. From there, ABPF coordinates the next stage of travel toward the fishing region and your accommodations.
Depending on the trip and current logistics, that journey may include ground transportation, river travel or a combination of both.
The destination is remote—but you won’t be left to figure it out on your own.
Getting your visa
You must get a visa to travel.
U.S. guests are required to obtain a visa before traveling to Brazil. The application can be completed online through the official Brazilian visa website and may take up to 10 days to process. We strongly encourage guests to apply as soon as their trip is confirmed so there is plenty of time before departure.
