Rio Da Lua - Floating Cabins
This remarkable private fishery is exclusive to Nomadic Waters. If you are looking for consistent shots at huge Timensis peacock bass, this is the location for you. Our guests land several peacock bass between 65 cm and 75 cm each trip.
Characterized by small water, this river connects to countless lakes and lagoons that all hold large paca, three bar acu, butterfly, and popoca peacock bass. Guests hook into 20-pound acu almost every week, and these are the largest butterfly peacock bass we have ever seen.
If you are an explorer at heart, you will be blown away by this experience as we cut our way into new lagoons every week.
Group Size: 8 Guests, double occupancy.
Accommodations: Deluxe floating cabins with A/C, private bath and shower. Exceptional cuisine and cocktails, and an incredible staff make this an extraordinary experience.
What makes this location special?
Three words: Consistent, clear water. The Rio da Lua has extremely consistent flows and runs clear. This makes for the perfect environment for our fish to grow fat and happy, and to spawn multiple times per season guaranteeing a well-balanced population of species.
The Rio da Lua offers the finest and most consistent fishing that we have ever experienced. This is a quality fishery, both for numbers and trophies. Here you can have non-stop action and head-hunt for that true trophy Timenses Peacock Bass at the same time.
Perfect for families, father-son/mother-daughter combos, corporate groups, and fishing buddies who want to share this amazing jungle experience.
What makes the Rio Da Lua unique?
-
Private fishery. Guests will experience opportunities to cast to multiple double-digit peacock bass as well as a variety of other species.
-
Wildlife: Low human impact in this area means greater opportunities to see the exotic birds and mammals that live in these jungles. Countless Macaws, green parrots, and other birds are seen daily. We had 5 jaguar sightings in our 5 week season last year. Many monkeys, caiman, pink dolphins, and even the rarely-seen Amazon manatee live here.
-
Our private chef offers a delicious variety of Brazilian fare along with classic international dishes. Meals are served in our floating dining cabin that has solar-powered air conditioning.
-
Our four-star floating cabins are relocated each week due to water levels to ensure our guests are closest to the most pristine lakes and lagoons. These cabins are extremely comfortable and include individual air conditioning units, private baths with showers, and plenty of storage space for your gear and clothes.
