Open in FishNerdBoitupesca is a fishing spot with its own hotel in Boituva (SP), in operation for 22 years. Today it has 6 ponds for catch-and-release sport fishing (the old smaller ponds were merged into one), with synthetic turf around the main pond and renovated kiosks for those who want to spend the day by the water.
What you can fish
- Arapaima (pirarucu) — heavyweight species, the main pond's star attraction
- Redtail Catfish (pirarara) — another big-game target
- Tambacu — present and recurring in reports from anglers who fished at the spot
The list published by third parties also mentions tambaqui, jundiá (South American catfish), and pintado (spotted catfish), but we found no consistent confirmation for these three — treat them as possible, not guaranteed, until you check with the pond's staff on the day.
Best season and techniques
The idea that November to April would be better for 'activating' arapaima and redtail catfish with warmer waters has no confirmation from an official source, and available reports contradict each other on this — since the ponds are controlled environments, there's no certainty they follow the same pattern as natural Amazonian lakes. Prefer to confirm by phone before planning your trip around the season.
- Bottom fishing, with tilapia head or giant earthworm — recommended for tambacu and bottom-feeding species
- Mid-water with corn, bread paste, or fish feed — for tilapia and similar species
- Bait floating near the bank (sausage or chicken fillet) — mentioned for larger fish, such as redtail catfish
Facilities, lodging, and prices
The hotel has 57 suites (including family rooms for up to 7 people), a restaurant with capacity for 500 people/day, a 27 m² kids' area, an event space for up to 200 people, and a renovated women's restroom with a baby-changing station. Price ranges reported by external sources — not published on the official website — point to sport fishing between R$ 90 and R$ 150/day and lodging between R$ 450 and R$ 750/night; confirm updated rates directly with the fishing spot.
