Rio Marié: Chasing the Amazon’s Giants

The adventure begins at Rio Marié, where you’ll spend 6 nights and 6 full days of fishing in pursuit of the Amazon’s largest peacock bass.

Set against the backdrop of pristine waters and untouched rainforest, the Rio Marié experience combines adventure with exceptional comfort aboard Untamed Angling’s state-of-the-art vessel. Every cast holds the promise of a world record and a story you’ll never forget.

Pirarucú: The Heart of the Arapaima Reserve

After your time at Rio Marié, your journey transitions seamlessly to Pirarucú without the need for an overnight stop in Manaus. A quick charter plane flight takes you to Tefé, where you’ll be transported to the stunning Mamirauá Reserve, home to the world’s largest freshwater fish: the arapaima. So on the same day you leave Rio Marie you arrive at Pirarucu lodge!

Depending on your schedule and flight availability, you can choose 2, 4, or 6 full days of fishing at Pirarucú. Here, you’ll have the chance to target not only arapaima but also tambaquis, and arowanas, experiencing the rich biodiversity of this remarkable reserve.
