Kendjam is located near the headwaters of the Irirí River in one of the most hidden areas of Brazilian Amazon: the Mekragnoti Indigenous Territory. This environment offers the first multi-variety Amazon fly fishing destination where an angler can target more than ten different species in crystal clear fast waters. The river system runs over a huge granite base, which facilitates wet wading and man

y sight casting opportunities. Untamed Angling discovered this incredible headwaters system and its tributaries, finding that this magnificent clear water system offers an angler’s nirvana for new species on the fly. Anglers can use five to eight weight rods and rely on many of trout/steelhead/salmon water reading skills and techniques to catch numerous jungle species from peacock pass to payara, pacu, wolfish and many more! Kendjam is a remote and small indigenous community (15 Kayapo families live in Kendjam) right in the middle of most preserved Kayapo land and is located at the epicenter of the Kayapó Indigenous Nation: the Mekragnoti Indigenous Territory. Only 700 Indians live in this enormous area, creating one of the most isolated portions of tropical jungle on earth. Kendjam is located 550 miles southeast from Manaus and a plane will land on the airstrip right in the Kendjam Indian Community. The Iriri River headwaters system inside the Mekragnoti Indigenous Territory (more than 700kms), never fished before by westerners. The Iriri River begins its journey inside the jungle at the border of Mato Grosso and Para states and runs into the northeast side of the Brazilian Amazon for more than 1300kms. It’s a tributary of the mystic Xingu River.
