(*) No alcoholic beverage will be allowed during the fishing day in the river according to FUNAI regulations and also a decision of the Kayapo of Kendjam. They are very cautious with the use of alcohol and want to protect the future of their young Kayapo guides.
If you are an adventurous angler, we will provide a one or two-night out camp location to reach the far and most wild areas of Iriri upstream or downstream the lodge.

No Alcoholic Beverage will be allowed during the fishing day in the river according to FUNAI regulations and also a decision of the Kayapo of Kendjam. They are very cautious with the use of alcohol and want to protect the future of their young warriors. Excellent Wines, spirits and fine drinks are served at the lodge during appetizers and dinner.
Water
Our partnership with YETI coolers allowed us to design a program that focuses on reducing the use of plastic bottles in Kendjam to zero or to a minimum.As a result, we have built last generation filters to provide pure potable water in our lodges. The lodge has a complete water filtration system, of 5 elements (Sediment, Micro Filter, Bacterial Filter and Reverse Osmosis units). The quality of our water is regularly checked by a renowned Manaus (Brazil) laboratory—you will find the pertaining certificate in the living room. All bathrooms have filtered water in taps and showers.
Electricity
The electricity will be available with batteries and we will have a small generator running during peak hours. The electricity is the same as in the U.S. 110/220 volt, but with two prongs (see the image below).
Guides Team
Kendjam guides are experienced for jungle angling. All are expert fly-fishing guides in other high-end operations, speak English and are licensed. Local Indian guides are very knowledgeable about their area, and they really know where fish are. This guide couple is the key for your fishing success.
