ECUADOR AMAZON

Dorado Fly Fishing Expedition

Exclusive Fly Fishing Expeditions for Amazon Golden Dorado

Deep in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon flow virtually unexplored rivers where the legendary Amazon Golden Dorado still dominates crystal-clear waters surrounded by untouched rainforest. These are not places reached by accident; they require time, navigation, and the invaluable knowledge of the local communities who have lived alongside these rivers for generations.

This expedition has been designed for anglers seeking far more than just a fishing trip. Over several days, we will explore remote river systems, navigate deep into the Amazon rainforest, and pursue some of the most aggressive and exciting freshwater species in South America.

The stars of this adventure are the legendary Amazon Golden Dorado and the powerful Sabalo. The Golden Dorado thrives in fast currents, eddies, and river structures where it ambushes its prey before striking with explosive aggression.

The Sabalo shares these same river systems and provides constant action, aggressive strikes, and memorable battles. The combination of both species creates dynamic fishing days where nearly every current, pool, or rapid has the potential to produce a fish.

Combining drift boat fishing, wade fishing, exclusive jungle camps, outstanding cuisine, and fully personalized service, this experience offers a unique opportunity to discover one of the last frontiers of fly fishing in South America.

“Welcome to an expedition where every bend in the river holds the possibility of the fish of a lifetime.”

The Fishing Experience


This expedition combines multiple fishing approaches designed to maximize opportunities while exploring a remarkable diversity of Amazonian habitats. From wading crystal-clear riffles, pools, and rapids to drifting productive stretches aboard specially designed fishing rafts, each day offers a new perspective and a new challenge.

Access to the most remote waters is achieved using traditional Amazonian boats operated by skilled local navigators. Every day on the water is different — one moment may bring the explosive strike of a Golden Dorado in fast current, the next, the relentless action of a Sabalo in quieter water.
