The Kuyuwini River – Guyana
Experience the Wild Heart of the Amazon
Hidden deep within southern Guyana’s Rupununi region, the Kuyuwini River offers one of the most remote and authentic fishing experiences in South America. Flowing through untouched rainforest and winding jungle channels, this pristine river is home to some of the Amazon’s fiercest and most rewarding catches — all from the comfort of a guided fly-camp expedition designed for true adventurers.
A True Multi-Species Adventure
The Kuyuwini River is a haven for serious anglers chasing wild, hard-fighting fish. The region’s crown jewel is the Amazon Wolf Fish (Hoplias aimara) — also known as the Giant Trahira — a powerful predator armed with razor-sharp teeth and unstoppable strength. Known for explosive strikes and aggressive fights, the Wolf Fish is as fierce as it is elusive.
Beyond this legendary species, the Kuyuwini’s waters hold Redtail and Jau Catfish, Arowana, Payara, Peacock Bass, Pacu, and Piranha, offering nonstop action for anglers of every style. Every cast is a test of patience, precision, and endurance — and every catch tells a story worthy of the Amazon.
Fly Camp Living – Raw, Real, and Remarkable
At Kuyuwini, you’ll stay in a fly camp — a fully supported, temporary base built for comfort in the wild. Guests can choose between tents, hammocks, or cots, all equipped with bug screens and tarped cover for restful nights under the jungle canopy.
Our skilled crew handles all camp logistics, from cooking and cleaning to guiding and daily laundry, ensuring you focus entirely on fishing and exploration. Enjoy traditional Guyanese and Amerindian-style meals, with fresh fruit, snacks, and beverages provided daily. A selection of soft drinks, juices, and cold beer are always on hand — plus rum and local spirits to toast another unforgettable day on the water.
Raw Amazon. Real Adventure.
The Kuyuwini River experience is designed for anglers who crave the wild — the isolation, the challenge, and the satisfaction of conquering South America’s most remote waters. With expert guides, handcrafted meals, and the roar of the jungle as your soundtrack, this is more than a fishing trip — it’s a journey into the heart of the Amazon.
