Nederlands The Farm
Where the Amazon
is our address.
Ucayali region, Peruvian Amazon, near the city of Pucallpa, surrounded by standing rainforest. This is not a location we chose for convenience. It is the native home of the species we raise.
The Place
Ucayali, the heart of Peruvian Amazonia
The Ucayali river basin is one of the great cradles of Amazonian life. Here, water and forest are inseparable: the river feeds the ponds, the forest shelters the water, and the paiche has thrived in this exact ecosystem for millions of years.
Our farm sits within this living landscape, not carved against it. The ponds are fed by native waters, the surrounding forest stays standing, and the fish grow in the same conditions nature designed for them.

Our Story
Built by people who stayed
Amazonian Reserve was built by people who believe the Amazon's most extraordinary species deserve to be raised where they belong, by the people who know them best.
From the first hatchery tanks to today's certified production, the project has grown with one conviction: that quality is not added at the end, it is built into every day of a fish's life. That is why we control every stage ourselves, from breeding to export, on a single site.
The People
The hands that raise every fish
Our team is local. The technicians who inspect the ponds each morning, the specialists who manage the hatchery, the crews who harvest and process, they are from the region, trained on-site to international standards.
Working in the jungle is demanding. Heat, distance, rain, every day asks something of the people here. What they give back is knowledge no outsider can match: they know these waters, these fish, and this forest because it is their home.
Employment at the farm means stable, skilled work in a region where that is rare. Training, safety, and fair conditions are not extras, they are how a serious operation works.

Heritage & Tradition
A fish woven into Amazonian culture
Long before it reached fine dining menus, the paiche fed Amazonian communities for centuries. Known as pirarucu in Brazil, it is one of the great cultural fish of South America, celebrated in river towns, prepared in patarashca wrapped in bijao leaves, grilled over open fires, cured in the sun.
The doncella holds the same place of honor: the most prized freshwater catfish of the Peruvian Amazon, reserved for the tables that matter.
When chefs serve our fish, they serve this heritage. We carry it carefully, from the communities that have always known these species, to the kitchens discovering them for the first time.
“The paiche has lived in these waters for millions of years. We did not invent anything, we simply learned to raise it with the respect it deserves.”Amazonian Reserve, farm team
