Itinerary
Domestic Flights: You will need to arrange your domestic flights from Manaus to Tefe on Azul Airlines. You can book your flights online at www.voeazul.com.br, or have your preferred travel agent do it to simplify the process.
Day 0
Upon arrival at Manaus International airport, guests will be greeted by our English speaking representative/ transfer driver. They will arrange for transfers to the Hotel. You and another angler will be put up in a double occupancy room at the hotel for the night (included in the trip package). The transfer staff will let you know when they will pick you up at the hotel the next morning, to take you to the airport for the domestic flight.
For Consideration: It is wise to arrive in Manaus a day earlier rather than late at night the night before heading into the jungle – this helps buffer you against possible airline delays into Manaus, and will give you a day to enjoy what Manaus has to offer. This is important as there is only one flight a day to Tefe. It costs an additional hotel night, but for many it is worth it, for the peace of mind.
Day 1
Enjoy your complimentary breakfast at the boutique Hotel. The host will pick up the group early morning and head to Manaus airport to take the Azul Airlines Flight to Tefe during the morning.
The commercial flight is not included in the package price (buy it online at: www.flyazul.com). A lodge representative will meet you at the airport in Tefe, and take the group to the port to board the fast boat to the lodge, roughly a 50 minutes trip.
Day 2 to 5
Each day, 2 anglers will head out for the day to fish one of the bits of the Pirarucu region, its tributaries and/or lagoons. Each angler shares a fly fishing guide along with a local guide on specifically designed fly fishing boats with two large casting platforms.
