Barcelos, with about 19 thousand residents, is an eco-tourism and logistics hub at Rio Negro, gateway to the Mariuá Archipelago and famed as the “Sports Fishing Capital of the World” for peacock bass. The Negro and Aracá rivers anchor premium expeditions, while private jet charter and air taxi in Barcelos ensure fast, exclusive access to river lodges, riverside communities, and conservation areas.
Begin with breakfast at a riverside lodge terrace; take a scenic flight over Mariuá and land by a floating community for a blackwater-river experience. Explore Forte São João with a guided visit, then enjoy an Amazonian tasting lunch at a riverside restaurant. Finish with a private peacock-bass outing on the Negro or Aracá and a sunset executive charter flight back to base.
