Pirarucú is the first and only project allowed and supported by the Brazilian government with focus on fly fishing for arapaima.
PIRARUCÚ IS LOCATED IN THE MAMIRAUÁ RESERVE, THE LARGEST WILD ARAPAIMA RESERVE ON EARTH.
Arapaima is a prehistoric, mythical beast, and also happens to be the Amazon jungle’s biggest predator.
The area is protected and full of arapaima of all sizes, weighing anywhere from 20 to 400 lbs. Anglers can also target other species such as the tenacious arowana and tambaquis.
The Mamirauá Reserve strikes the senses with its active wildlife, ranking among the top five bird watching destinations in the Amazon, and its many activities satisfies the palette of the entire family.
Equitable partnership with local natives.

"The memories of fishing and experiencing Pirarucu will be with me forever.. This is a place that even National Geographic cannot duplicate in pictures. (...) Pirarucu and her surroundings are one of the great gifts that Nature, in its purest form, has provided those who have and will be fortunate enough to experience."
