Brazilian Amazon combination trips

For anglers looking to combine For those looking to combine two iconic fisheries in one journey, the Untamed Angling combos remain an exceptional way to experience even more of the Amazon.

The Rio Marié and Pirarucú combo brings together the pursuit of giant peacock bass with the chance to target massive arapaima in the protected waters of Mamirauá. Anglers spend a full week on Rio Marié before heading into one of the most distinctive fisheries in the region, with options for two, four or six days of arapaima fishing.

The Rio Marié and Kendjam combo connects two extraordinary worlds in a single trip. Anglers begin with a week in Kendjam, exploring clear waters and a diverse range of species, followed by an overnight stay in Manaus, included in the package, before continuing to Rio Marié for another week focused on giant peacock bass.

Each of these destinations offers its own way of experiencing the Amazon, and for those ready to make the most of the season, these remaining weeks represent some of the last opportunities to fish Untamed Angling in 2026.
