Amazon Bass Fishing Vacation Package
Peacock Bass Fishing Package at the Rio Negro Lodge
Travel to the Amazon and Experience the Amazon, Brazil with this 6 Days Peacock Bass Fishing Vacation Package and Tour that includes Accommodation at the Rio Negro Lodge, Transportation and much more.
About the Tour Package
If you enjoy fishing, whether you are a novice or seasoned professional, and are ready for an once-in-a-lifetime adventure fishing for the ferocious peacock bass, DiscoverBrazil offers the finest peacock bass fishing operation in the world.
You will use the Rio Negro Lodge as a home base depart each morning by Nitro boat or floatplane and return each night for rest and relaxation. Offering unwavering quality and a commitment to exceptional service, the Rio Negro Lodge delivers a truly unique experience.
About the Peacock Bass: Called 'tucunare' in Portuguese, the peacock bass is a born ambusher and one of the most ferocious freshwater fish you'll find anywhere. Interestingly enough, the 'bass' portion of the fish's name is a bit incorrect. Peacocks are actually members of the cichlid family (like oscar).
Acrobatic brawlers on a line, they snap 30-lb. monofilament like thread, straighten saltwater hooks, mangle lures and send rods home in more pieces than you came with. They are almost exclusively diurnal and aren't the least bit sun-shy, hitting most lures at the surface with explosive force. They're not too choosey about baits, but landing them is guaranteed to be one of the toughest freshwater fights you'll ever get in. You'll love every second of it.
About the Bass Boat: Whether you're a seasoned angler or entering your first tournament, NITRO® Performance Bass Boats ignite your passion to hit the water. Ranging in size from 16' to 20', they include custom factory matched trailer. The fully loaded and affordable, NITRO Performance Bass Boats have wide beams, large fuel capacities, MotorGuide® trolling motors, and Lowrance® electronics. Other fishable features on these high performance boats include huge aerated live wells, rod lockers, deluxe fishing seats and wide-open casting decks.

About the Tour Package
With this package you will visit 3 of the most exciting and sought after destinations in Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (including Buzios), the magical and exotic state of Bahia (Salvador and Praia do Forte) and the island paradise of Fernando de Noronha.
Brazilians say that God created the world in six days and, on the seventh, he created Rio . This Marvelous City, with its stunning Pao de Acucar (Sugar Loaf), the impressive Corcovado (the statue of Christ) white sand beaches and green, granite based mountains, must be the most beautiful and exciting city in the world. Buzios , once a tranquil fishing village, is home to some of Brazil's most stunning beaches, exotic boutiques, hip restaurants and bars, and unique architecture, which explains why Brigitte Bardot frequented this destination in the 1960's and spread the fame of Buzios across the globe.
Salvador, known for its history, culture and beauty and Praia do Forte , a quaint fisherman village, known for its beaches, restaurants and artisan shops will give you a glimpse of what the state of Bahia has to offer in terms of rich history, culture and unexplored nature.
With crystalline waters and an exuberance of stunning tropical marine life, as well as wonderfully preserved beaches and virtually no pollution, Fernando de Noronha is a paradise for divers, surfers, nature lovers, and anyone wanting to escape to a tropical island.
