The Paraná River is home to one of the most aggressive freshwater fish on the planet: the Golden Dorado. Whether you are a fly-fishing purist or a bait-casting enthusiast, we take you to the hidden channels where the monsters hide.
Paraguay is a bucket-list destination for serious anglers. The massive river systems here are teeming with life. We aren’t talking about small panfish; we are talking about the Surubí (a catfish that can weigh 50kg+) and the Dorado (famous for its acrobatic jumps and steel-trap jaws).
But these rivers are vast and dangerous if you don’t know them. The currents are strong, and the fish move constantly. You need a captain who knows the river better than he knows his own home.
You don’t need to travel with bazookas of fishing rods. We provide a complete, hassle-free experience.
We arrange the transport from Asunción to the prime fishing hubs (like Ayolas, Paso de Patria, or Cerrito). We provide professional bass boats or spacious river cruisers, top-tier Shimano/Penn tackle, live bait, and—crucially—the cold beers and food to keep you going.
The prize trophy. Known for its brilliant gold scales and ferocious temper. Pound for pound, it is one of the hardest fighting fish in the world. Catching one is a badge of honor.
The king of the bottom. These spotted catfish grow to massive sizes. Hooking one feels like you are pulling up a sunken car. They are powerful, stubborn, and distinctively beautiful with their leopard-print skin.
Pound for pound, the Pacú (river pig) offers an incredible fight and is delicious to eat. We often stop on a sandy island to cook your fresh catch over an open fire for lunch.
Our captains are locals who have fished these waters since childhood. They know where the schools are moving based on the water level and temperature. They don’t just drive; they teach you how to hook the big ones.
The Paraná is a powerful commercial waterway. Our boats are equipped with life vests, radios, and reliable motors. We prioritize your safety so you can focus on the rod tip.
We supply the rods, reels, lures, and live bait. If you are a fly-fisherman, we can guide you to the shallow rapids, though we recommend bringing your specialized flies.
