Kafunga is a rural pay-to-fish spot (pesque-pague) in Santo Antônio do Jardim (SP), with a lake surrounded by native forest and a family-friendly atmosphere — suited both for catch-and-release anglers and those wanting to take the fish home. The banks are wooded, which makes precision fishing near the vegetation easier but can get in the way of very long casts.

What you can catch

  • Tambacu (tambaqui-pacu hybrid) — confirmed
  • Redtail catfish (pirarara) — confirmed
  • Tilapia is mentioned by a tourism directory, but without direct confirmation from the fishing spot
  • Pacu, pintado (spotted catfish), and a second mention of redtail catfish appear on the original list, but no independent source confirmed these catches at Kafunga — treat as unconfirmed

Best season

The claim that October to March is the best period has no confirmation from an official source of the fishing spot itself, nor from Google Maps — it's an estimate based on general fishing patterns for tambaqui/tambacu and tilapia in Southeast Brazil (warmer water stimulates activity). It may work as a reference, but it's not a Kafunga-specific guarantee.

Techniques and bait

There is no confirmation that 'small antennas and beads on long casts' is the technique used at Kafunga. For tambacu and typical pay-to-fish species, bottom fishing with a sinker is most common, using dough bait (flour, cornmeal, flavorings) or bait like chicken fillet — but this is generic pay-to-fish practice, not a site-specific confirmation.

Facilities and prices

The city's tourism portal (tier-3 source) confirms the sale of food portions and drinks on site. There is no confirmation of a tournament arena, nor of full restroom facilities, in any official source or on Google Maps. The R$ 70 to R$ 110/day range for sport fishing was not found in any source — it's recommended to confirm by phone before going.

Getting there and contact

The address is in the Rural Zone of Santo Antônio do Jardim - SP, with a Google Maps location (Plus Code V75J+55, Santo Antônio do Jardim) — this is the tier-2 source and takes precedence over a directory (tier 3) that lists the fishing spot in Espírito Santo do Pinhal, a neighboring town.
