Trip Features - More Than Just Awesome Fishing
|
The Amazon basin is the world's largest primeval wilderness. Not only is it home to the world's fiercest fighting fish, but it is a place of incomparable beauty, enduring mystery and incomprehensible contradictions. No visit here is complete without an opportunity to witness some of the Amazon's above-water wonders. On the Blackwater Explorer, you'll be given every opportunity to see, feel and be part of this spectacular place.
| |
Visit an Amazon Village |
|
Many small, simple villages are scattered throughout the region the Blackwater Explorer visits. Whether Indians or "Caboclos", indigenous Amazonian peoples live a unique riverine life style here. It is our privilege and pleasure to visit these villages, interact with their people and gain an understanding of a culture usually invisible to temperate zone dwellers. |

Take an Exciting Spotlighting Excursion |
|
The jungle's edge comes to life at night. Jaguars, agouti, nighthawks and cutia all become easier to encounter at night. As added entertainment, using powerful spotlights, our guides not only find nocturnal caiman, but dive athletically into the river to capture them for your photo opportunities. Don't worry, it's strictly a catch and release affair and nobody, including the caiman, gets hurt. Bring your camera and flash. This is not to be missed. |

Try Your Hand at Monster Catfish |
|
|
|
 |
The Amazon is home to big, powertail redtail catfish, sleek, fast suribim and several other species of giant catfish. Take an afternoon or evening to try your hand at these beasts. Everything is calm and relaxed until your line starts whizzing into the sunset. Then the battle is on! |

Enjoy a Delicious Shore Lunch |
|
Nothing beats grilled fish fresh out of the water. Our guides can turn your morning's extra catch into a delicious shore lunch, barbecued on the spot, Amazonian style. Sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. |

Try a Traditional Brazilian Barbecue |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
Our outdoor grill on the Explorer's upper deck is the site of a delicious, traditional Brazilian barbecue. Celebrate a great week of fishing and the trip of a lifetime with a food feast, Brazilian style. Grilled steak, chicken and sausage together with a traditional "feijoada" provides the finishing touch to your Amazon experience |
