Tariquía Lodge

FreshwaterTarija River, Tariquía Flora and Fauna National Reserve — Bolivian yungas, upper Paraná basin

Opened by Untamed Angling in 2025, Tariquía is a Tsimane lodge in Bolivia's Tariquía reserve built around the large mountain golden dorado of the fast, clear Tarija River. Each day a helicopter drops anglers on a different stretch and guides float them downstream in rafts, which is where nearly all the fishing happens. Rooms are singles only, and every fish is released.
