Day 2: After your complimentary breakfast, your group gathers in the hotel lobby and then transports to a small local airport (Eduardinho), where you catch a charter flight to Barcelos (or other destination) where the boat awaits you. Upon arrival, you will transport to the boat and meet your guides and crew. The voyage begins as you head off into the jungle tributaries of the Amazon. You may wish to fish a 1/2 day during the afternoon or simply relax and enjoy the cruise on the Rio Negro.

And, integrate a humanitarian mission with your adventure expedition.

Optional Add-On
As part of your trip, you have the option and opportunity to add a humanitarian mission to your adventure expedition (Fishin' with a Mission®). The mission is structured, yet varies (by design) from trip to trip. The key to its success is your dedication to learning from the local families first, then, following up with action. It is unlike anything you'll ever experience. You will have the opportunity to truly influence your life and the lives of others in a meaningful and impactful way.
