Fazenda Lodge – Short Stay Fishing Break

In 2009, Steve Townson and his good friend, Canadian Mikey Cooke, were invited by the owner of the Fazenda Macambira Lodge, to fish for Tamabaqui and Arapaima in his two lakes. Since then Steve has returned to fish here, catching some amazing big fish.

So we’ve decided to offer this as either a quick getaway for people visiting Manaus or perhaps an extra couple of days away ‘before or after the main event in the jungle’!

This has been organised so you can extend your Amazonian adventure either before or after your main fishing break in the Amazon jungle for Peacock Bass or one of our exploratory trips. Or for people who are in the country and fancy a couple of days’ fishing for the magnificent Arapaima in particular while they are there.

After all, why not give it a go, as you’re travelling thousands of miles away from home anyway?

Macambira is a man-made lake system full of fish. The lakes have their own natural fish stocks from the many streams before they were dammed.

Tambaqui and Arapaima were later stocked many years ago to provide sport fishing for the avid angler. They have now bred naturally and the lake is brimming with hard-fighting fish.
Boats will take the anglers to the lakes where long wooden canoes are moored to take them to various fishing locations in the area.

Normally the boats are moored to the bank or trees when fishing for Tambaqui or Arapaima.

The lodge is situated near the Amazonian town of Nova Orlina de Norte, about 150km South East of Manaus.

It is basic but very comfortable and the food is good and wholesome. Three guest rooms with fans are set in a long bungalow-type Amazonian wooden building, each with en-suite bathrooms and covered terraces. There is permanent 110v electricity for battery-charging etc.

Breakfast can be eggs and toast, fresh fruit, coffee, tea and cakes with lunch either on the bank of the lake or back at the lodge.

In the evenings fresh fish caught by the angler is served together with beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, salads and fresh fruit. There is an open bar with beer, bottled water, soft drinks and local liquor.

A cool-box with your choice of drinks and filled with ice will be taken along each day while fishing.

This destination has specific fishing kit requirements that we will advise you on when you book with us.
