Mid-week, anglers will move from Secure Lodge southeast to Pluma Lodge. This involves a 10-minute charter flight to the Oromomo Indian Community air strip and a one-hour (approximately) jungle trek on 4- to 6-seat ATVs from the runway to Pluma.
As anglers travel upstream to camp the terrain changes from Serengeti-like verenza to the slightly steeper pitch of foothills. The ride seems to fly by as the surrounding jungle offers magnificent sights and sounds. However, "you ain't seen nothin' yet," as the two primary fisheries for Pluma actually converge just upstream of the massive home pool, making this a perfectly placed lodge.
Pluma's floor plan is nearly identical to that of her sister lodge, Secure, which includes three guest bungalows and a main dining building. Pluma Lodge is situated on a high bank overlooking a 200-yard pool where one can sit on the porch after a full fishing day, sip a Caipirinha and watch dorado decimate bait schools.
Anglers can expect four overnights here with three full days of fishing the three water systems near the camp. At week's end, the flight back to Santa Cruz is approximatly 1 1/2 hours.
