An expedition for those who venture beyond.
Alto Inírida is a journey into a river that challenges you from the beginning. Deep in Guainía, its waters connect remote communities, immense lagoons and powerful rapids. Traveling upstream takes preparation and experienced local boat operators who understand its currents. For anglers willing to make the journey, every crossing opens another stretch of water to explore.
This expedition began with a request from returning clients: to go farther upriver. Over three expeditions, that idea became the route we follow today. Together with local communities, we learned where to fish, when to move and how to travel through this remarkable territory.
Beyond the rapids lie lagoons stretching six or seven kilometers through the forest. At Guacamayo, the river reveals its power in an unforgettable setting. From Punta Pava to these upper waters, then downstream through Bakiro, each stop brings different fishing opportunities and another way to experience the river.
Getting here is part of the adventure. After arriving in Bogotá you’ll fly to Puerto Inírida and begin the ascent by boat. We sleep in tents, move camp, share meals and settle into the rhythm of life along the river.
We travel with experienced local people and deep respect for their communities and territory. Some days demand effort. Others leave you quietly watching the water, grateful to be there. Together, they create an expedition that challenges you, brings you closer to life’s simplest things and gives you reasons to return.
Why us?
- A route shaped by experience. Over three expeditions we have explored Alto Inírida and refined the journey with every return, connecting Punta Pava, Guacamayo and Bakiro while balancing fishing time with the demands of river travel.
- Local knowledge, shared trust. Navigating this river takes people who know it intimately. We work with experienced local boat operators and community members whose understanding of the currents, rapids and territory makes the journey possible.
- The full expedition experience. Camping is part of what makes Alto Inírida special. We set up tents, share meals and move between fishing areas. Expect active days, simple camp living and the satisfaction of reaching places that take effort to discover.
