Fishing in Latin America
Summary
South America has some of the best and most varied fishing in the world. Southern Patagonia, in Argentina and Chile, is famous for sea trout and the Lake District and central region for brown, rainbow, brook and lake trout, as well as Pacific salmon. In northern Argentina the Iberá Marshlands have become increasingly popular for fresh water dorado. Further north, Los Roques in Venezuela is famous for bonefish and in Brazil the Amazon has good fresh water fishing for peacock bass. In Central America the Pacific coast of Guatemala is good for billfish, particularly sailfish, and the Caribbean coasts of Belize, Costa Rica and Mexico offer good flat, reef and deep sea fishing. Costa Rica also offers both offshore and inshore fishing on the Osa Peninsula and the Pacific coast. Please ask for our dedicated Fishing brochure.
Best time
It varies from country to country but for example, the season is generally November to April in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, January to July in Venezuela and September to April in the Iberá Marshlands.
