PEACOCK BASS FISHING
ON THE AMAZON RIVER IN BRAZIL
OVERVIEW OF THE TRIP
Itinerary - Tours depart Miami for Manaus, Brazil on a comfortable LAB International Airline flight every Friday, with return travel back to Miami the following Sunday morning. The trip duration is 8 days / 7 nights, with 5 days of unforgettable peacock bass fishing.
Your trip begins in Miami where you board a wide body jet for the five hour direct flight to Manaus deep in the heart of the Amazon. After a good night's sleep, you will take a special charter flight across the rain forest which includes a fascinating aerial view of the famous "meeting of the waters." This is where the "black," tannic acid waters of the Rio Negro join the "chocolate," muddy waters of the Amazon River.
 After landing in a small village approximately 300 river miles from Manaus, you will board your air conditioned houseboat home for five action-packed days! When the fishing ends, you will return to Manaus with time for shopping and sight-seeing in this famous city. One of our American trip leaders will be with you every step of the way.
Shopping for native crafts in the Mercado Municipal, gift stalls around Centro, or gift shops near the Opera House is a favorite activity for many on their afternoon in Manaus. Precious and semi-precious jewels mined in Brazil, either un-mounted, or in beautiful custom jewelry pieces, are another favorite purchase for many of our clients. Amethysts, aquamarines, emeralds and topazes are among the best buys in this area, often being had for 1/3 to 1/2 of their stateside price.
 The groups often meet up for dinner together at a local Brazilian churrascaria (barbecue restaurant) or a restaurant serving local fish and seafood dishes. After dinner options include an open air show of regional Boi-Bumba dancers, or a visit to a local club to experience some live Brazilian music and dancing. Whatever your desires for your day in Manaus, our manager (who is not only a resident of the area, but married to a local Brazilian girl) will be glad to give you some advice on the local hot spots for shopping, eating and entertainment. If the schedule allows for it, he will even accompany you into town to help with money changing, shopping and choosing from your evening options.
