Escape to the remote beauty of Kendjam Lodge, nestled within the Mekrãgnoti Indigenous Territory in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon. This exclusive trip offers epic angling adventure, breathtaking scenery, spectacular wildlife, and world-class guides & hosts. Embark on a journey to a remote, exploratory fishery on the pristine waters of the Iriri River. This riparian wilderness comprises five million hectares of untouched Amazonian jungle and waterways — all protected by the conservation commitments of the indigenous Kayapó Nation.
This 6 day excursion in August and September 2025 puts you in Amazonian fly fishing heaven during the Iriri River's dry season, when low waters yield sight fishing opportunities for more than eight different species of game fish. You never know what you might encounter on the river, where jaguars, ocelots, capybaras, and tapirs traverse the banks alongside your boat. As you navigate this dynamic, seasonal watershed, the river's granite base allows for easy wet-wading and visual, sight casting opportunities. Kendjam's expert guides and specialized watercraft allow access to deep pools and swift runs throughout this sprawling river system. Here, anglers prospect with a variety of flies in search of some truly unique targets, including such endemic Amazonian game fish as peacock bass, wolf fish, payara, bicuda, matrinxã, pacu, surubí, and redtail catfish.
Find where comfort meets exploration at Kendjam's refined jungle lodge with a world-class crew of anglers and staff. Join seventh generation guide and international angling travel host, Zac Horrocks, as you experience the heart and soul of the Amazon like never before. Zac's wealth of angling knowledge combined with local insights from your Kayapó guides will make this experience something unparalleled, invaluable, and truly unique. As you explore this prolific rainforest playground, you will be surrounded by an abundance of fish and wildlife that thrives around Kendjam. The colors, humbling beauty, vibrant culture, and immense biodiversity of the ecosystem will, at times, render you speechless.
