Amazon, Brazil

Peacock bass, arapaima, arowana and more on the Anauá River, in Roraima, Brazil.

MORO’ Amazon Lodge offers two ways to explore the Anauá River: travel through the lower Rio Branco and Anauá aboard the vessel Dona Socorro, or explore the upper Anauá from the Asa Branca floating lodge. Rivers, lakes and forest channels make for a varied, distinctly Amazonian fishery, guided by local professionals who know these waters. MORO’ comes from a Macuxi word for fish.
