Piranhas fishing at Yucamama Lake

A must experience if you're in Puerto Maldonado. Jean Pierre was really good. I asked for 4.30am pick up, as a solo guest he picked me up at my hostel by motorbike. Take a jacket for the bike, sun hat and insect spray. The lake is full of piranhas, some caimans and lots of birds.

Lake Yacumama, piranha fishing, and sunset.

Wonderful excursion to Lake Yacumama. We managed to catch piranhas and spot caimans. It was very impressive to see the sunset over the lake! Thanks to our guide Darwin!!👏

Unbelievable. Friendly and friendly treatment. The beautiful experience. He even dropped me off at the lodging. Highly recommended.

Friendly and friendly treatment. It lasted about 2:30 hours. The guide was very supportive and gave us time to take pictures. The experience was beautiful. When I returned he left me at the lodging. Highly recommended.

Wally and Eric are fantastic, I did 3 tours with them! 100% recconend

Piranha fishing was fantastic, we arrived at the lake in time for sunrise and saw all the Macaws leaving the palm trees, saw kingfishers, a big cayman and lots of other birds too! Fishing was basic and very fun! I also did Sandoval tour which was great and we saw tarantulas! Sunset cruise was lovely and relaxing.

Unique location and pleasurable experience

Excellent unique tour. Great knowledgeable guide. Spectacular location with Soo many birds and many caiman. Being there in the evening was really nice. The two of us caught one piranha combined, but it was fun to try. I was more impressed just by paddling around marveling at the palms and birds.
