Anthony trip is from End of Sept to Early October. I wish I have the cash to go travel like that.

The trip is put together every year by George from Shark Aquarium (Hillside, NJ, a vendor on this site with over 20 yrs. experience in Amazon travel )
Not a bicuda (I used to own one) ....to me it looked like Freshwater Barracuda .
My tank was pretty stocked but I brought back a boulengerella maculata to keep company to the one I already had.



I absolutely had a blast....your country is amaizing. A trip like this it's about way more than just collecting fish ( can't believe I said that on MFK....I'm going to burn :))...living on the Amazon for a week , listening to the jungle, experiencing the local culture , getting to know the people....it's something you can't really capture in a picture .
I can't wait to come back to Peru to visit the north part of the country and hike in the Andes.



one more pic for a fellow dat keeper :D... 2ft.+ juruense

Great points and I'm in total agreement with you. I'd love to visit such a place. I travel quite a bit, but this is truly the trip of a lifetime. My dream has been to go on an African safari., but they're so expensive. Keep the pics coming.
 
Thank you for sharing your great exsperience, if anyone feels a trip to colombia then give me a shout, Seriously i can accomadate folk and know of some great fishing spots already,
We have a very well known member on this forum who at present lives in the states,yet hails from medellin colombia,so i have him to back me when i say the place is amazing and so diverse,but if people are only out for two weeks of fun in the sun then dont bother going, you cannot sit by the pool when you have all this diversity at your finger tips:D
I have acsess to some great pictures of the fish caught at a place called "Lake Penol Guatape Antioquia Colombia"

so i will post these pics to show whats on offer:headbang2
