Amazon Fishing and Jungle Lodge


A HISTORY OF LAGO JANAUACÁ (Lake Janauacá)

The Amazon Fishing Lodge is located on Lake Janauacá.  Janauacá is located in a mouth of the Rio Solimões, 110 kilometers from Manaus, with an area of approximately 80 km ².  It has been inhabited since 1830, with the families Cordeiro and Amaro da Silva as the first to arrive.  The basic economy in Janauacá, was from the introduction of sugar cane.  They were owners of large sugar mills, and responsible for the production of aguardente and sugar cane in large scale.

The growth of the industry favored the arrival of labor from other parts of the state, of small farmers, also herdsmen who wished to acquire ranches and pasture land.

The last to arrive were the fishermen, who were nothing more than workers who had changed their activities. Their presence aggravated the farmers, especially after they started setting their nets within the lake.  They gave up fishing other than Janauacá, while they lived right at the entrance to the lake.   This caused a conflict that became known as 'A GUERRA DO PEIXE' (the war of the fish), at the end of the 19th century, seeing as the farmers also depended on fish to eat.

A GUERRA DO PEIXE

The conflict lasted months, without any result negociated, until it became a serious armed conflict, which left 13 dead and 14 wounded.   After this tragic episode, the authorities became involved in the question, dividing the large lake.  they established an area that the fishermen couldn't exceed, and only the farmers could fish with this area with their nets.
