FISH of the AMAZON FISHING TRIP 4 Days & 3 Nights

The place where Muyuna Lodge is located is the most adequate for fishing, because there are

ten lakes surrounding the area. These lakes have more fish than the Amazon River

because of their calm current and its black color which means that has a lot of minerals.

We can find the peacock bass, a fish that is very difficult to capture because it can

release itself from the fishhook, the octopus, that is one of the two species

of fish in the world with lungs, ornamental fish, cat fish, sardines, 33 kinds of piranhas, etc.

Other species that live close to Muyuna Lodge are: the fresh water brycon, fresh water plagioscion,

fresh water tiger cat fish, golden cat fish, silver hatchet, smell mouth, sting ray, wide eyed ciclod,

fresh water apis, mouth–breeding water, barracuda, candiry catfish, armored cat fish, pimelodus,

fresh water charax, large toothed tambaqui, hatched fish, head stander, silver dollar, neon tetra,

pacu, discus, red–tailed cat fish, angel fish, balloon fish, leaf fish, glass fish, sain peter fish,

snake headed fish, pen fish, flat–tailed fish, clorydora cat fish, etc.

We recommend to make this trip in July, August or September. The rest of the year the Amazon River increases its level because of the snow of the mountains melts and there is too much water to have a good fishing tour.

Here it will be hard, but not impossible to get a peacock bass. The lunch this day will be outdoors, so you can have more hours to be in this lake. The best option to refresh yourself is to swim in this lake. Late in the afternoon, you will go to the Amazon River to learn how the indigenous people fish, using fishing nets, so you will leave the net there all night long. While you are in the Amazon, you will experience the most magical moment of your trip, that is to see the dolphins playing around your boat. ( B/L/D )
