A real fishing expedition
Zootown Anglers has partnered with Tucunare Lodge to host a small group each season. This isn’t a resort trip: long days, big gear and water few fly anglers ever see, with indigenous Sikuani guides.
The camp
A regional flight from Bogotá to Inírida, then a boat to camp on the Rio Vichada. Dual-occupancy cabanas with memory foam mattresses, mosquito netting, fans and private semi-outdoor bathrooms. Cold beer waits when you come off the water.
The fishing
Peacock bass in the lakes; payara, pacu, piranha and sardinata in the rivers. Plan on a 10-weight, intermediate sink tips or 400-grain lines and big articulated flies. Shots at 10–15 lb peacock bass are real.
Included
- 7 nights at Tucunare Lodge
- 7 full days guided by Sikuani guides
- All meals, beer and white wine at camp
- Boat transport and regional flights Bogotá–Inírida
- First night hotel in Bogotá
Not included
International airfare, the last night in Bogotá, personal gear and flies, liquor beyond beer and wine, and guide gratuities.
