Get ready for an epic journey into the heart of the Amazon! The itinerary aboard the Barco Andiroba is very well-structured, covering the most strategic areas of the Rio Juma basin and its adjacent lakes — regions famous for the explosion of color and strength of the Peacock Bass (Tucunaré-Açu, Tucunaré-Paca), Aruanã, Traíra, and other native species of the region.

Here is your detailed and organized itinerary to make the logistics easy to visualize:
