Description of Fishing:Called "tucunare" in Portuguese, the peacock bass is a born ambusher and one of the most ferocious freshwater fish you'll find anywhere. Acrobatic brawlers on a line, they snap 30-lb. monofilament like thread, straighten saltwater hooks, mangle lures and send rods home in more pieces than you came with. They are almost exclusively diurnal and aren't the least bit sun-shy, hitting most lures at the surface with explosive force. They're not too choosey about baits, but landing them is guaranteed to be one of the toughest freshwater fights you'll ever get in. You'll love every second of it.
Additional Info:Spacious and air conditioned, the main lodge spans 5,000 square feet beneath a verdant jungle canopy. The lodge serves as a hub for fine dining and fellowship while the private cabins form spokes for solitude.The cabins feature air conditioning, queen-sized beds, private baths with hot water, walk-in showers, a sitting area and a covered porch. Beautiful views. Absolute comfort. The property incorporates handcrafted woods, slate floors and thatched roofs, creating dramatic beauty against the exotic jungle backdrop. And our guests will enjoy resort-level amenities like daily laundry service, a private beach and fine dining.
