VENTURE DEEP INTO NATURE. CATCH THE WILDERNESS. RELEASE YOUR PASSION.
There are a variety of unique destinations in the world—virginal locations where the journey there is half the adventure and life-changing experiences await you. At Untamed Angling we seek them relentlessly, regardless of how remote they may be. We remain undeterred by obstacles or difficulties because we are instinctively driven by our adventurous spirit. Pristine rivers, fascinating wildlife, exuberant flora and inspiring natives eager to share their heritage: more than an outstanding fishing experience our destinations provide a journey to the living myths and legends of the Amazon—the adventure of a lifetime.
Focusing on Environmental Stewardship
Engaging Local Communities
The best of Nature. And our commitment to preserve it.
An equitable partnership with indigenous people. A genuine way of keeping their legacy alive.
Working with the natives has enhanced our sensitivity towards the environment. That is why sustainability is at the core of our operation.
The jungle is their home. Their deep connection to its waters, flora and wildlife drives them to become one with the environment. The development of their senses as hunters and fishermen over the centuries has been exceptional—and they generously share with our guests this combination of ancestral knowledge and fabled skills.
Untamed Angling contributes to preserving the over 12 million hectares/almost 30 million acres of rainforest comprised by our destinations. We produce thorough environmental reports every season, and dedicate our efforts to studying the fish population and their life cycle. We are in continuous search of fresh, innovative ideas that can help us reduce our ecological footprint, whether through the use of renewable energy, proper waste management or recycling. Our focus on environmental stewardship is so fundamental that our destinations purposely accommodate small groups of guests so that the impact to the environment is kept to the minimum.
Untamed Angling is founded on their endorsement and involvement so we have established an honest relationship with natives of six different ethnicities. By providing fair employment to over 300 indigenous people, and further 100 non-indigenous locals, our partnership is a means of helping natives preserve their centuries-old culture and tradition. Because of this close collaboration our destinations now provide more economical benefits for indigenous people than any other tourist attraction in Latin America, thus improving their quality of life and building a sustainable future for their communities.
CONCEPT
Coordinating Efforts with Legal Authorities Securing the environment and its biodiversity. For generations to come.
Involving authorities is key to our goal of building a solid, long-lasting legal frame that guarantees the protection of our projects by ensuring a sustainable use of the resources. To this end, we work cooperatively with numerous government officials and agencies. This way we are able to submit and discuss environmental proposals. Additionally, we develop research programs to further understand the ecosystems. This strategy contributes to safeguarding our agreements with the locals while providing long-term vision to our development, thus securing our most valuable assets: the magnificent environments and the inestimable natives’ traditions.
from visits to nearby communities to photographic safaris. You will find unique opportunities to discover Nature—always with an indigenous perspective at hand.
