Fishing near Marechal Thaumaturgo, Acre

Marechal Thaumaturgo sits deep in the western Amazon, in Acre state, where the Rio Juruá runs directly through town and the Rio Tejo joins it nearby. This remote municipality is surrounded by dense rainforest and a network of rivers and igarapés — small forest streams — that together form one of the least-disturbed freshwater fishing environments in Brazil. The area draws anglers after the full range of Amazonian species in largely undisturbed water.
