Featured on the The Animal Planet series Fish or Die, episode Amazon Giant!
Born and raised in the jungle of Ecuador, Diego has 20 years of experience conducting both wildlife and fishing tours in the Cuyabeno Reserve. Sport fishing being his passion, he began in 2011 with a fish population and ecosystem investigation, now running Kingfisher tours as a small family operation.
The Cuyabeno Reserve of Northeast Ecuador is a biodiversity hot spot in the Amazon basin. Due to the steep drop-off from the Andes Mountains, this basin area is incredibly rich in flora, fauna and fish diversity. The Cuyabeno Reserve contains a system of white and black water rivers with 14 beautiful lagoons created by lowland forest flooding, an ideal place for fishing.
Common fish species found in the park include Peacock Bass, Catfish (Red-tailed, Gray, White), Pacu, Paiche (Arapaima gigas), Bacalao, Piranhas, Corvina, Dogfish, Tarayra. As responsible fishing and conservation is extremely important to Kingfisher, we maintain small groups and continually work with local communities on topics of education and conservation.
