The main species found are the Peacock Bass (in its various varieties), the Arowana, the Arapaima (controlled fishing), the Piraíba, and the Redtail Catfish (Pirarara). The Amazon is rich in biodiversity, and many other species can be found.
The practice of “catch and release” is fundamental for sustainable sport fishing. It means that all captured fish are carefully returned to the water after being caught, ensuring the preservation of the species and the ecosystem.

ALMIR MORGANTI
THE OLD MAN OF THE RIVER
Almir Morganti is a legendary name in sport fishing. With over four decades of experience, he began his journey in the 1980s and, since 1998, has dedicated himself entirely to fishing in the Amazon.
His first expedition to the region took place in 1995, marking the beginning of a career that transformed fishing tourism on the Rio Negro. Since then, he has led over 600 groups, providing unforgettable experiences on Amazonian rivers.
For 16 years, he worked at one of the largest companies in the sector, supervising everything from boat construction to operations management — a mastery that made him a national reference.
Passionate about artificial lures, he considers the peacock bass (tucunaré) his favorite fish — a true trophy of Amazonian waters. Recognized for his dedication, he earned the nickname “Velho do Rio” (Old Man of the River), affectionately given by fishermen who consider him a living legend of the Amazon.
