Fishing

For those who love fishing, the Thaimaçu inn offers the opportunity to fish large bass and varieties of Amazon catfish. The Thaimaçu is located along the banks of the São Benedito River, which extends for 250 km through a natural state reserve. Prince-consort Henrik of Monpezat, of Denmark, has already been to this veritable fishing paradise that can only be reached by car or by plane.

Fishing in the São Benedito region is productive practically all year long. However, the period when it is permitted to catch certain species may vary. The best chance of landing large fish is when the waters are at their highest levels (February to May). Fly fishing is apparently most indicated when the waters are at their lowest levels (August, September and October). Fishing is prohibited during the period when the fish are hatching their eggs, from December 1st to February 1st.

In this region, rivers such as the Juruena, Teles Pires and their tributary streams, which are tributaries of the Tapajós River, are true sanctuaries of beauty and excellent fishing locations.
