Amazon Peacock Bass Fishing Trips with the World's Leading Authority

Meals and Camp Life

FOOD and BEVERAGES -- Our camp staff provides both high quality and ample meals throughout your stay. A breakfast buffet is typically served at 6:00AM each morning. Pancakes, eggs, toast, fresh fruit, bacon, cereal and fresh coffee are all standard fare. Lunch is typically fixed (box-style) by each angler in the morning before departing for fishing. This allows anglers to stay on the river the entire day, to minimize their travel time and to maximize their fishing results. Anglers are always welcome to return to camp if they prefer, of course. Happy hour begins with appetizers and cocktails when anglers return from their day's fishing. Dinner is served around 7:00PM. Typically, several selections from a mixture of Brazilian and 'American' foods enliven the camp's dinner menu. Delicious soups usually begin the meal. Fresh fish, beef, and chicken are accompanied by an assortment of beans, rice, bread, salads and mixed vegetables. Desserts are a welcome finishing touch. Our trips provide an open bar with soft drinks, beer, wine and domestic liquors always available.

Personal Possessions -- Our rivers are almost completely devoid of human habitation. Those few individuals that are occasionally found on the rivers (usually either 'caboclos' or Indians) are known to our staff and are friendly, since we have typically negotiated fishing rights from them or their reservation or community. We have never had an incident of thievery in our camps. Our staff are honest, reliable people who respect all your belongings. Valuables can be left in your bungalow or cabin without concern.

A WORD ABOUT LOCAL CULTURE -- Please remember that you are heading into the middle of the Amazon jungle where a slow pace of life and a "laid back" attitude is entrenched in the culture of the native people. Therefore, crisp timing, efficiency as we know it and effective planning are sometimes out of sync. Don't let this get to you - relax and adjust to where you are. The staff are timid at first, but if you meet them half way you'll find them to be warm and helpful. Please be patient, none of them have been trained outside the confines of the jungle.
