Laguna Iquitos
Once part of the main Amazon river channel, this oxbow lake with its calm waters and rich natural resources is the perfect environment for fish to flourish and grow. The primary sport fishing here is for the beautiful Peacock Bass, with specimen fish weighing in at over 23lb. These fish hit hard, and fight harder, which is why South America is on the bucket list for anglers from across the globe. Other highlights in this remote location include the ferocious Arapaima that can grow to well over 400lb, Red Tail Catfish in excess of 120lb, Black Pacu weighing over 60lb and the mysterious and elusive Giant Wolf Fish.
