Uraima Falls

At Uraima Falls you will experience the most challenging Payara fishery in the world. You can troll in some locations and cast in others. You have the option of fishing from island shores for very large payara. Your guide may have you fish in fast water beneath the falls or in the main and quick currents of the Paragua River. The Payara often exceed 30-pounds, striking with enormous power and stripping line off very fast. Uraima Falls is the only lodge in South America exclusively geared to the Payara. The Payara can be described as a salmon with a bad attitude. You can also catch the fierce Aymara, another prehistoric lure crunching fighter that grows up to 40-pounds. The lodge adheres to a strict catch and release policy. The current all-tackle world record is 39-lbs. and 4-oz, and was set by one of the lodge guests, there are also several line class records registered at IGFA.
