From the Altiplano to the Amazon
Lake Titicaca sits at about 3,800 meters between Bolivia and Peru, with rainbow trout and pejerrey. Below the Andes, the Beni, Mamoré and Ichilo rivers in Bolivia have golden dorado, surubí and pacú, and the paiche (arapaima) has spread into the Bolivian Amazon from Peru.
In Peru, Iquitos and the Pacaya-Samiria reserve are peacock bass and paiche country, and the Madre de Dios at Puerto Maldonado has big catfish and pacú.
Rules: closed seasons and limits change by country, much of this water is inside reserves and indigenous territories, and you should fish with a local guide.
