Banos, Banos, Ecuador In the morning, we will pick you up from Baños in a wonderful drive towards Rio Zunag, which takes 40 minutes. Once we are there, it is time to get change with the equipment to enter into the river, and look for the famous Carachamas or Andean Cat Fish.
Be ready to get wet because you will catch the fish with a wire and your own hands. It has all to be an interesting and funny experience!
After, we will see who was luckier and collected more fish. To celebrate the success, we will take you back to Rio Negro, where we will share with a local family (NOT A CONVENTIONAL RESTAURANT) a delicious BBQ lunch and, of course, to try this delicious fish, all surrounded by beautiful plants and lots of birds.

I was attracted by the programme of catching fish with bare hands in a river. The guides prepare everything for me, including wet suit, diving jacket, anti-slippery shoes, drinks and snacks. They briefed me in details about what would happen and the technique of finding and catching a fish. They first demonstrated it and then let me try. We were able to catch fishes sufficient for making soup for lunch. They also prepared delicious food during the lunch. The landscape is wonderful and the experience is unique.

This was the best experience we had in ecuador! We had a blast rock hoping up the river on a treasure hunt for fish. It was such a wild adventure we will never forget. It was a great opportunity to be out in nature like a local. If you have adventurous children and up for something off the beaten, I highly recommend William and Paul’s tour. To make the day even more special, they had a bbq back at Paul’s mothers house which included a soup from our fresh catch. We were amazed this unique day came from a purchased tour. AWESOME!!!
