What to expect:

Day 1: Arrival

Today as you arrive in Bogata you will transfer to the Marriott Courtyard Hotel for the night. 

Day 2: Bogota to Puerto Carreno

This morning you will meet your guide at the airport and fly from Bogotá - Puerto Carreño from the Aeropuerto El Dorado. When you arrive in Puerto Carreño our driver will be waiting for you. From here we will depart the 4-hour 4x4 journey down the backroads on an unforgettable scenic drive complete with deer, tapir, pumas, and anacondas until you reach the mouth of the Tomo river. The arrival time to camp depends on what time the domestic flight is today. We will overnight in the Orinoco Camp - there is great payara fishing right at the camp.  

Day 3 + 4: Payara Fishing Days

The Orinoco camp is located on the part of the Orinoco with the most rapids. The natural beauty is unrivaled, and the pull of a land-based 20+ pound payara in strong currents is also without equal. The amount of fish and low pressures means the fishing here is world-class, expect to run into big payara, sardinata and bicuda. Boats are shared between 2 anglers. 3 rapid systems can be fished from this camp, as well as the mouth of the Tomo river.

Day 5 + 6+ 7: Peacock Bass Fishing Days

After the 2 days of payara fishing, you will head up the river to access the peacock waters and change camps. You will transverse the beautiful rapids of the river where you will need to walk 150 meters where the crew will drag the boats through 40 meters of dangerous but beautiful rapids. We will reach the Orinoco Lodge where we will be spending the next 4 nights. The time spent will be under the protection of the local autonomous Sikuani natives.

Day 8: Final Fishing Day

Wake up to your last fishing day today as we head down river - fishing of course. Today is dedicated to Peacock Bass (unless you prefer 1/2 day for Payara as well)  until around 4:30pm where we will head from the last Peacock lagoons back to the Orinoco camp. 

Day 9: Travel Day

Today we will depart from camp back to Puerto Carreno Airport for your flight back to Bogota where you will transfer to the Marriott for your final night. End of tour.
