Formed by the Correntes and
Itiquira rivers, the Piqueri, for its localization
and physical characteristics, as well as, for the
lack of cities in its margins and for the difficulty
access, can be considered as one of the rivers best
preserved in the Pantaneiro ecosystem. Its design
is narrow and little deep, and its waters in
greenish tones are unanswerable pure. Owner of so
many virtues, the river still stands out more when
the theme is sporting fishing. Jaús, Pintados,
Cacharas and Piraputangas are the most found
species. But it is without a doubt that the Dourado,
"The king of the river", and the intruder Tucunare
(Peacock Bass) labeled as "Ambassador of Brazil",
are the main objectives of the fishermen that go
there. |
