Fishing near Pacaraima, Roraima

Pacaraima sits in the far north of Roraima, on Brazil's border with Venezuela, surrounded by savanna and river corridors typical of the Guiana Shield. The rivers and igarapés of the region — including the Rio Miangue, Rio Suapi, and Rio Amajari — flow through remote terrain and hold the Amazonian freshwater species characteristic of northern Roraima. Fishing here is an expedition-style pursuit, far from heavily trafficked waters.
