After an unforgettable week on Colombia’s Tomo River in 2025, Jeff Ehlert extended his stay to explore the remote Guayabero River in search of the legendary Payara — also known as Vampire Fish. What he found was nothing short of magical: wild Amazonian waters, a truly off-the-grid experience, and some of the most thrilling fishing of his life.
Now, we’re inviting a select few to join us on this exclusive hosted trip to one of Colombia’s most protected fisheries from February 6-13, 2026!
Guayabero Rio February 6-13, 2026.
Your cost is $2,900/person (based on 3 anglers per guide).
Trip Highlights
-
Dates: February 6–13, 2026
-

-
Species Targeted: Payara (Vampire Fish), Dorado Catfish, and Yellow Catfish
-
Group Size: Limited to 6 anglers only
-

Originally limited to just 4 anglers due to strict conservation regulations, our local partners in Bogotá, Manuel and Camilo, successfully negotiated access for a total of 6 — making this a rare and intimate opportunity.
Expect a comfortably rustic experience deep in the Amazon, filled with great fishing, warm hospitality, and surprisingly delicious food. As Jeff put it:
“The fishing was spectacular, the food was incredible, and I don’t even drink coffee — but down there, I drank all I could get!”
