Like no place else you’ve fished before, the Urariquera is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful rivers in the world.  This complex system completely surrounds the 75 mile long island of Maraca, one of Brazil’s most carefully guarded national treasures.  The southern furrow of this wild river is a region of unbelievably convoluted braids.  Separating and rejoining endlessly, the waters range from 6 feet to 600 feet wide…..from slow moving, lagoon-like pools to raging white-water torrents….from shallow, jungle-lined passages
to bottomless, stone-walled chasms. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

To the north the furrow of Santa Rosa rolls placidly along in a single, wide channel, until the river’s source climbs precipitously into a region of gigantic waterfalls.  This incredible diversity provides optimal environments for an amazing variety of species, both resident and migratory and is one of the greatest natural fish hatcheries in the world.  The Urariquera is a fisherman’s dream.
