Just as we were wrapping things up on that first trip last year, our host, Steve Yatomi of Adventure Travel Alliance, informed us he and his Brazilian alliance partner Marlon Otero of Peacock Fishing Expeditions, were working on an experience to not only rival, but perhaps surpass what we had just lived through both in terms of living accommodations and the fishing experience. This new trip would be way up river where the houseboats cannot travel and few people get to fish because access is limited and the time and cost to travel that far up river is prohibitive. They were putting together a trip that would grant us access to the Amazon headwaters.
