Opera Ink – Memorializing the Greatest Landmark in Manaus
Manaus isn’t just the gateway to some of the world’s best peacock bass fishing in the Amazon — it’s also home to the stunning Teatro Amazonas. I’ve passed through the city many times on my way to chase tucunare, and despite being a confirmed non-sightseer, on each visit I’m struck by this grand opera house, a symbol of Manaus’ rubber boom and cultural heyday.
For anglers who’ve had their lives changed by peacock bass, the Teatro Amazonas isn’t just a landmark — it’s become iconic enough to inspire tattoos around the world. Between exploring the city’s history and stocking up at Sucuri Pesca, one of my top five tackle stores globally, Manaus is more than just a stopover on your next Amazon fishing adventure.
Tucunare might inspire tattoo but we promise the fish are worth more than just ink. Email us to book your Amazon adventure and find out why anglers from around the world return year after year.
