Hi Guys, I am takeing reservations for my next trip to Uruguay, 10 people max, cost is $1,550 per person plus your airfare. A nonrefundable deposit is require to hold your spot. Leave November 29th and return Decmeber 12th, so two full weeks of collecting with the best guide in the buisness Felipe Cantera (http://www.aqvaterra.com/), all food, travel, lodgeing, export permits, ect are included in the price, Felipe picks us up at the airport and drops us back off and is there until the plane takes off. While in Uruguay he takes care of your every need. This trip will be going to the Paysandu area in western Uruguay on the Rio Queguay which has never been collected and then up to the north to Tranqueras in Rivera then west to Ricon de Pacheco (Rio Cuariem), Collect the road between Artigas and Salto, then on to the Lagoona at Constitucion, and saving the best for last, the Bella Union region (Rio Uruguay). We will catch many, many species of fish, more than you could ever bring back; Gymnogeophagus, Cichlasoma, Crenicichla, Astroloheros, Apistogramma, Ansistrus, Hoplias, tetras, livebearers and many more. E-mail me with any questions. fishfarm@mindspring.com Ken

Only two species of Apsitos, which we will collect both in Bella Union, A borelli and A. combrae, I could not believe the colors of both of these fish compared to Brazilian imports,
lots of small Ansistrus species, and other small loricarids, plus Astroloheros sp. and Gymno rhabdothus and meridionals that all stay fairly small. I'll have to resize some pictures before I can post them. Ken
