Fishing on the Tapajós and Arapiuns

Fishing in protected areas with all gear included. Lago Verde, Muretá and Pindobal, or the more distant lakes of Maripá and Bacurí in the Reserve.

Duration
1 day
Vessel
up to 7 people

Fishing conducted within protected-area rules, respecting minimum sizes and spawning seasons. The closest spots are Lago Verde, Lago Muretá and Pindobal. For those with more time, the lakes of Maripá and Bacurí in the Arapiuns Reserve and the Jarí Channel are more productive. All gear is included and the guide knows the spots from a lifetime of experience, not from GPS.

Fishing follows size limits and spawning season restrictions.
