Agua Negra Lodge
Enjoy Clear Water Tributaries of the Sécure System
The Agua Negra River is a clear-water tributary of the Sécure system in Bolivia’s Tsimane Indigenous Territory and National Park. The river runs through a mix of low-gradient valley sections and more defined upper stretches, creating a combination of sandy flats, slow runs, and structured holding water.The lower Agua Negra resembles a floodplain-style river with wider channels, soft currents, and sandbar formations that hold golden dorado and yatorana. The upper sections shift into clearer, more defined water where dorado, pacú, and yatorana are found across structure and seams.
Fishing takes place by moving through different sections of river, often accessed by dugout canoe. Conditions vary by water level and location, with a focus on wading access and floating line presentations in clear water.

Travel Details
Guests travel to Agua Negra Lodge by first arriving in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (VVI), Bolivia, where they typically overnight in a hotel arranged as part of the itinerary. The following day, anglers take a scheduled charter flight into a remote jungle airstrip deep within the Tsimane region. From there, guests continue by boat transfer into the river system to reach Agua Negra Lodge. All in-country logistics from arrival onward are coordinated by the outfitter.

Why We Go Here
Água Negra offers access to one of the clearer tributaries within the Tsimane river system, where defined structure and visibility set it apart from more sediment-heavy jungle waters. The combination of shallow runs, sandy sections, and transitional water creates a distinct section of the broader watershed.The system supports golden dorado along with native species such as pacú and yatorana, distributed across different river sections.
