Ecolodge Da Barra
The Unique 'Ecolodge Da
Barra' Amazon Floating Lodge
Fishing Trip
The ECOLODGE DA BARRA was
founded by a group of hard-core lure
and fly anglers who joined forces to
provide adventure-seeking anglers
with the best infrastructure for fishing
in South America.Apart from being
the only floating Lodge in Brazil, it also
provides the most modern and up-todate
comfortable, intelligent and
ecologically-minded approach to
sport fishing.
The ECOLODGE DA BARRA is
located where the Rio Tapajós is
formed, at the confluence of the Rio
Teles Pires and Juruena, presenting
an enormous area to fish for over 20
species of sport fish.
This fantastic floating Hotel/Lodge
gets our No1 thumbs up for the angler
who wants complete comfort and
pampering while able to catch a
bundle of big fish in Brazil. We would
classify this amazing floating hotel
and fishing trip as our top five-star
destination.
All fishing boats are fitted with two
fishing seats, front deck, 4 stroke 40
HP outboards, trolling motor, all
necessary fuel, and an assortment of
local Brazilian flies lures should
anglers like to use something other
than what’s in their box!

All guides are native to the area, fully
trained and will do their upmost to
make sure anglers catch as many fish
as possible, to take some great
memories back home.
The Lodge
There are 16 luxury apartments
sleeping 24 anglers at any time. All are
spacious, air conditioned and have a
veranda overlooking the river and at
2.7m above the waterline. Each ensuite
bathroom has hot water and
pressurized showers for that intense
massage at the end of a hard day’s
fishing!
The deluxe climatised restaurant
provides our guests with breakfast,
lunch and dinner with traditional and
regional menus and cuisine.
...
The ‘open’ bar is nearby and serves
snacks, selected wines, spirits, hot
and cold drinks and cocktails, all
included. There is ample room with a
walk-around Veranda.
The Hotel also has Cable TV with
more than 200 channels, Radio,
Internet connection with WiFi
covering the whole of the Hotel, 30
cameras for security (filming &
recording 24 hours), Voipe and
Satellite Telephones. Laundry is
made daily and sheets and
pillowcases will also be changed
daily.
There is also a tackle store at the hotel
providing hooks, rods, reels, lines and
even fishing clothes should any
luggage be lost by airlines etc.
The Hotel also lends tackle to guests
without any cost. Note that this needs
to be ordered well beforehand.
The Fishing
This is a year-round destination,
although the very best time for fly
fishing is from May to October when
the water visibility makes the fishing
with bright streamer flies and poppers
fantastic, particularly for the peacock
bass.
In this particularly productive and
varied watershed, there is a huge
diversity of species to be caught. With
over 150 lakes and lagoons, three
main rivers and many other
tributaries, this is a huge fishing area.
Fly fishing at this destination is the
very best that we have ever
experienced at any lodge and anglers
can target huge Peacock Bass,
Payara, Arowana, Bicuda and may
other species with amazing results in
the lakes, river, rapids and tributaries.
