Tsimane is located within a National
Park and Indigenous Territory, where the Amazon jungle meets the Andes
mountain chain and is a FLY FISHING only destination. The landscape
is incredible and its rivers are streams of clear water running through
the jungle and the mountain, with wading-and-sight casting-friendly
banks. The jungle remains in an absolute virgin state and it is probably
one of the most voluptuous natural expressions in the world. Millions
of butterflies of impossible colors flitter in the warm breeze, the
rumor of hundreds of hidden birds and animals resounds from the depths
of the jungle.The rivers are inhabited by two different dorado species
and other fish from the Amazon basin, such as the pirapitinga or Amazon
pacu and the yatorana (pound by pound, one of the strongest fresh-water
species)

Satellite telephone and internet available at the lodge. The lodge are settled at an international level. We have excellent cuisine chefs from Argentina, the best equipment and guides. After years of planning we found the perfect way to run this operation in the middle of the Bolivian Amazon..
Notes:
Walking and wading its an issue that should be talked about. Fishing is done 90% going upstream with the canoes, stopping before the fishing spots (runs and tails of pools), fish walking those spots then jumping back to the boats again to the next run. There are other places that some good walking is needed to reach spectacular fishing spots. The wading is quite friendly but walking overall is considerable.
Fishing is done in groups of two fisherman. They never met on the river.
The equipment used on Tsimane rivers are 6 to 9 weight rods, with good quality and strong drag reels, floating lines and intermediate tip lines.
We use from big hoppers (for Jatuaranas and Affinis), to surface flies and streamers to Dorados and Pirapitingas.
There are daily international flights from Miami, Madrid, and others major cities to Santa Cruz. Tsimane crew will met you directly on the Airport. Depending your arriving hour you will have a night in Santa Cruz in a 5 star hotel. On the following day angler will flight to the camp.

Tsimane blends, like no other destination on Earth, the best aspects of fly fishing: sight casting, freestone wading, light tackle, floating lines; majestic sceneries, mountain rivers with clear, virgin waters; and four extremely sportive species reaching very significant sizes.The combination of such characteristics results in an overwhelming experience.
