What do we eat?

Our Amazonian camps are staffed by experienced and skillful personnel. As good as the staff might be, however, the cook is always better. In our hosted camps, the food is ample and tasty, and there's always more than you can eat. A hot breakfast is provided every morning with coffee, milk, juice, toast, eggs and pancakes or French toast. Various breads and rolls and other specialties are generally included.

Most anglers pack a box lunch with sandwiches they make themselves from a selection of cold cuts, cheese and often a pate' of local fish. Topped off with cookies and a fruit, lunch is usually eaten on the river. If desired, anglers are always welcome to return to camp at noon for lunch. After fishing, most anglers make their way to the dining room to trade tall tales and perhaps enjoy a cold beer or aperitif. Our cooks make terrific appetizers ranging from pizza snacks to pocorn to savory fish tidbits to brighten up our jungle version of happy hour. Dinner is served at seven each evening. Dinners consist of a soup, salad, an American style entree (steak, chicken, lasagna etc.), as well as a selection of Amazonian dishes (including native fish and Brazilian specialities), vegetables and beans and rice. Wonderful desserts are served after dinner. Our staff is able to accommodate most special dietary needs if advised in advance. No one goes hungry in our camps. Our problem is that we usually enjoy the food so much, it always means a period of dieting upon returning home, to get back to a reasonable weight.
