“Agua Boa delivered—again. Seamless travel, great hospitality, and nonstop action. Some anglers landed up to 100 peacock bass in a day, including trophies to 18 pounds, plus arapaima, redtail catfish, payara, arowana, and more. Simply one of South America’s premier fishing destinations.” — Guy Schoenborn
