A CLOSER LOOK

Read the water.
Feel the possibility.

The Caño Bocón is home to the peacock bass that bring anglers to Colombia from around the world. Through our partnership with the indigenous Bachaco tribe, guests fish 30 linear miles of exclusive water, including secluded lagoons.

01

Local knowledge. A deeper connection.

Our indigenous bogas—boat captains—know the river and its fishing grounds intimately. Days on the water are guided by their experience and your pursuit of the next great fish.

02

A rhythm built around the river.

Breakfast, then out to fish. Back to the lodge for lunch and a rest. An afternoon on the water until sunset, with dinner and stories waiting when you return.

03

Make the trip your own.

Bring your fishing friends. Groups of eight can enjoy full lodge exclusivity. Ask us about equipment, techniques, seasonal conditions, and the right dates for your group.
