    At 3:30 pm, the experience begins with pickup from the main square and a 25-minute drive to a local community. Upon arrival, a community member welcomes us and provides a brief introduction to the activity, including the use of eco-friendly fishing rods to ensure a responsible and sustainable experience. We then take a short 7-minute walk surrounded by Amazonian nature until reaching the boarding point, where we get into a traditional canoe with a maximum capacity of 7 passengers.

    As we enter the impressive Yacumama Lake, we enjoy piranha sport fishing, a 100% sustainable activity that uses natural bait without affecting the ecosystem. While navigating the lake, you will have the chance to observe a great variety of wildlife, including small macaws, parrots, and large flocks of parakeets that can exceed 200 individuals. Occasionally, as we enter the lake, we may spot caimans in their natural habitat; they are calm animals and sometimes approach closely, allowing for unique photo opportunities. At the end of the activity, we return to the city.
