Open in FishNerd

Recanto dos Gigantes (formerly Lago Azul) is a pay-to-fish spot geared toward big fish, with lakes holding sizeable tambacu and redtail catfish (pirarara) (reports mention 20 to 45 kg). The facilities include kiosks with power outlets for night fishing and an on-site restaurant. Note: the correct address is Mogi Guaçu, SP — not Limeira.

What you can catch

  • Tambacu — the main draw of the main lake, confirmed by multiple sources.
  • Redtail catfish (pirarara) (Phractocephalus hemioliopterus) — not two separate species — it's the same catfish.
  • Reports also mention tambaqui, cachara/pincachara catfish, and pintado catfish in the lakes, but without official confirmation from the fishing spot.
  • Pirarucu/Arapaima: not found in any source researched — treat as unconfirmed.

Best season

For tambacu, October through April (warmer waters) tends to produce more active, aggressive fish — this matches the original claim. For catfish species like the redtail catfish (pirarara), third-party reports suggest the opposite: colder water (April to September) makes these fish more active. Since tambacu is the most documented target at this spot, it's the safer reference for planning your trip.

Bait and technique

  • Chumming is nearly unanimous across reports — using feed pellets or bread to draw fish in before casting your bait.
  • Tambacu: bread, beijinho/dango dough bait, ground tallow, Barão-style floating bait.
  • Redtail catfish (pirarara): fish heads (tilapia), mozzarella cheese, dough bait/mafish, cast along the lake's edges and corners, usually fished on the bottom.
  • The 'small surface float' technique appears more associated with tambaqui/peacock bass (tucunaré) than specifically with tambacu — treat with caution.

Facilities and prices

Kiosks with electrical power for those wanting to stay into the night, plus an on-site bar/restaurant. A range of R$ 90 to R$ 140 per day of fishing appears repeatedly in third-party sources, but no official source from the fishing spot has confirmed these prices — worth calling ahead to confirm before you go.

How to get there

The fishing spot is located in Mogi Guaçu, SP, in the Lago Azul neighborhood/condominium area — not in Limeira, as previously stated. The exact address varies between the sources consulted (one cites Vicinal Itapira/Rodovia Mogi Guaçu, another cites Rodovia João Neves), so it's safest to confirm the location directly with the fishing spot or via Google Maps before heading out.
