You’ll also observe a fascinating array of wildlife, including jaguars, cayman and Bolivian red howler monkeys. While a truly native experience, the camp provides an array of amenities, including air-conditioned rooms and WiFi service.
Many of our clients combine a few days of fishing at CNL with a dove shoot in Santa Cruz, an epic cast-and-blast adventure you’ll never forget.
The Trip
Although airfare is not included, both Air Boliviana and COPA offer daily service into Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Upon arrival, you will met and assisted through customs before being transferred to the domestic airport for your private three hour charter flight to the Caño Negro Lodge, arriving in time for lunch and to get settled in before your first afternoon of fishing.
Depending on the adventure length you choose, you’ll fish another three to six full days, returning to the lodge everyday at noon for lunch and siesta if you wish, before heading out to fish the remainder of the day. The last day you will fish till mid morning and return to Santa Cruz where you will overnight in order to catch your 9:00am non stop flight back to Miami the following morning.
The Experience
The Amazon and Mata Grosso rivers originate in the Beni region of Bolivia, and the Itenez River is one of the main head waters that form these two giant ecosystems. Not only will you catch lots of ferocious Peacocks, but you should also catch the toothy Payara, Pacu, Oscars, Piranhas and other species that you will have never heard of before, not to mention several varieties of Amazon catfish! The Caño Negro lodge is literally translated to “Black Branch”, as in the black branch of the Itenez river.
The water has lots of tannin from the jungle in it, giving the water its dark tea colored appearance. The fishing is excellent for baitcasting, spinning, or even fly fishing, so whatever your passion, Caño Negro has you covered. We will also maintain a good selection of tackle, from rods and reels to terminal tackle such as spoons and lures, but it is always advisable to try and bring a few of your own, if nothing else to try something different.
The Accommodations
In terms of quality, Caño Negro is one of the premier lodges in the South American Amazon, offering many of the creature comforts of home while maintaining a genuine jungle experience. The lodge will only take eight anglers at a time so space will be very limited as the season is from August through October. Book your date early as the fishing should be excellent in this little piece of heaven in the jungle.
