Fishing near Amajari, Roraima

Amajari sits in the far north of Roraima, where open savanna meets river corridors draining toward the Amazon basin. The Rio Amajari runs close to town, and the surrounding network of igarapés and rivers — including the Rio Cauaruau, Rio Trairão, and Rio Uraricoera — gives local anglers a range of freshwater fishing within reach. Peacock bass are a primary target across Roraima's river systems, alongside catfish species common to the broader Amazon watershed.
