As the 2024 season at Kendjam approaches, we thought it timely to look at the unforgettable angling experience on offer here in the heart of the Amazon. A fly fishing holiday in Brazil really is so much more than just an angling expedition. Add fascinating indigenous culture, fabulous wildlife, birdlife, and scenery and you’ll have a truly memorable experience.
Among the highlights of a fishing holiday at Kendjam are:
Prime fly fishing – The clear waters of the Iriri River are teeming with peacock bass, pacu, matrinxã, bicuda, the mighty wolffish and more. The catch-and-release policy ensures thrilling sport while preserving the river’s vibrant ecosystem.
Wildlife encounters – Beyond fishing, immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Amazonian wildlife. Spot colourful macaws, elusive jaguars, and playful river otters during your stay.
Cultural immersion – Engage with the local Kayapó community, learning about their deep connections to the land and their sustainable practices that protect their ancestral home.
New things to look forward to in the Kendjam 2024 season:
Upgraded lodging – with all accommodation freshly decorated.
Expanded guide training – already experts and deeply familiar with the rich biodiversity of the Amazon, the guides have undergone additional training to enhance the chances of visiting anglers landing the perfect catch.
Culinary delights – Chef Frede has crafted a special menu for the 2024 season featuring local ingredients and traditional recipes with a gourmet twist. In the bar, mixologist Dilvani has concocted a new range of tropical drinks infusing local spirits to refresh and surprise after a day on river.
Exploratory outcamps – This season, anglers can enjoy two outcamps in the regions of the Iriri River that have yet to be explored. This promises a true adventure for those eater to cat their lines into untouched waters.
