Remote indigenous land
The Rio Marié is located entirely inside a far-reaching Indigenous Territory in the upper Rio Negro area and approximately 500 miles northwest from Manaus, our operation's home base and the most important city in the Brazilian Amazon.
Huge & Protected
The Rio Marié fishing operation utilizes an area of more than 2 million hectares. This untouched environment has more than 800 kilometers of rivers, more than 180 known creeks, 60 lakes, and three major tributaries. There is certainly no shortage of water to keep us busy chasing fish that rarely see anglers, let alone humans.
Unspoiled jungle
The Rio Marié is born in the Northwest corner of the Brazilian Amazon, up near the Colombian border. It is a tributary of the upper Rio Negro. The Rio Negro Basin is the largest drainage of "black" water in the world, with approximately 710,000 km² of land, it is currently one of the most preserved regions in the Amazon, with less than 0.5% of deforestation.
Black Water
The Rio Negro is the main river, the second largest tributary of the Amazon River. Its headwaters in the Serra do Junai Hills, Columbia, run approximately 1700 km. to its confluence with the Solimoes River near the jungle city of Manaus.
