A Lake Yacumama piranha fishing tour is a gentle way to spend time on the water near Puerto Maldonado, at sunset or at sunrise. You are collected at your hotel, driven to the lake and introduced to your guide before boarding the boat.
Out on the lake the plan is simple and playful. Fishing gear is provided, so you can try to hook a piranha, then turn your attention to the shoreline in search of caimans. Overhead, parrots, macaws and other birds that live around the lake give the birdwatching a colourful soundtrack. As you cruise, the light changes over the water.
- Piranha fishing with the equipment provided
- Caiman spotting from the boat
- Parrots and macaws around Lake Yacumama
The tour includes round-trip transport, entrance permits, the boat and a guide from Puerto Maldonado who leads in Spanish, English or French. Food, bottled water and gratuities are not part of it. It is not for children under 2 or for people over 130 kg, and it fits anyone who wants an easy outing with a bit of adventure.
