Located within the rugged Indian territory of Bolivia, you will fish the Secure River and its tributaries offering varied types of waters during your stay. Their well-planned rotation has anglers on new water every day so you not only experience this virgin mountainous rainforest, but also fish a range of waters that are home to amazing species including dorado, pirapitinga, catfish and yatorana.
