Itinerary
Anglers will enjoy an all-inclusive package (excluding International flights), with 6 days of fishing, plus 7 nights lodging at the lodge, and the first night’s hotel accommodations at a fancy Hotel in Manaus. The maximum group size is 8 anglers, and no groups will ever fish the same water on the same day. The concept is to move every day up or downstream in aluminum boats exploring new waters and following the best fishing, so everyone will be casting fresh fish in new waters.
Day 0
Overnight accommodations at a fancy hotel in Manaus, the night before departure to the Xingu are included in the package. The group will receive all information regarding the next day’s plan for time of departure, typically around 5:30am weather depending.
Day 1
Breakfast Buffet at Hotel. The host will pick up the group at approximately 5:30 a.m. and head to the local airport, to board the private charter 8 persons Cesnna Grand Caravan plane to Pukararãnkre. After 3:30 h of flight, guests will arrive at the Pukararãnkre Indian Community landing strip where our guides and staff will be waiting.
The group will head upstream to the lodge (15-20 minutes). It’s a great opportunity for the anglers to see great river scenery, birds, animals and some fish in the Xingu clear waters. After the arrival and accomodation, will be served. Anglers will use this first afternoon to get situated and ready their tackle for the following day. That evening the fishing team will brief anglers on the daily fishing plans.
Day 2 to 7
Each day individual teams (2 anglers) will head out for the day, fishing the Xingu river, its channels, rapids, lakes and tributaries. Each two anglers will share a fluent English speaking fly fishing guide along with a local native guide in an aluminum boat. Both anglers are able to constantly fish all day long. Will be planed to allow anglers to access an amazing new area never fished before by guests and also optimize fishing days with less navigation and more fishing hours.
