Infinity Angling does not include travel insurance in trip pricing, and many insurers require policies to be purchased soon after making your deposit. We strongly recommend purchasing insurance that covers:
Trip cancellation
Medical evacuation
Emergency rebooking
Lost baggage
We have worked closely with Global Rescue for many years. They understand the needs of our anglers and are highly recommended.
Mosquitoes
Our primary fisheries — especially blackwater systems like the Rio Negro — are naturally mosquito-free due to their acidic water chemistry. However, in the city of Manaus there is occasional mosquito presence. We recommend bringing repellent for use near the beaches or in town. Bring long sleeves, long pants, socks, DEET, and anti-itch cream.
We have never had a case of mosquito-transmitted disease, but if you’re concerned, consult your physician. If using anti-malaria meds, avoid doxycycline (it causes sun sensitivity); malarone or lariam may be better options.
Allergies to stings?
If you are allergic to bees, wasps, or horseflies, bring an EpiPen and notify your guide and host as soon as you arrive.
Our staff and guides work hard to make your fishing trip in Brazil a memorable one. Tipping is a meaningful way to show your appreciation. These are suggested minimums per angler per week:

Tips for the Staff and Guides are paid after the final day of fishing. Please pay the Manaus host tip before you leave on your returning international flight. Tips can be paid in U.S. dollars.

Yes, you can cancel your reservation. However, because our expeditions are planned months in advance, cancellation fees may apply depending on how close to the trip date the request is made. We recommend reviewing our ‘Cancellation & Refund Policy’ provided with your booking agreement. To protect your investment, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance with ‘Trip Cancellation’ coverage.
All cancellation requests must be submitted in writing via email to [email protected].
If you need to change your dates, please contact us as soon as possible. Rescheduling is subject to availability and the specific policies of the destination lodge or boat. We will do our best to accommodate your new dates, though some seasonal price adjustments or administrative fees may apply. The sooner you reach out, the more options we will have to assist you.
Tip: We recommend requesting any changes at least 120 days prior to your departure to ensure the best chance of finding alternative dates.
