Fishing Trip with Locals

If you’re keen to try fishing in Colombia, there is no better place than La Boquilla, a small fishing village just outside Cartagena. Here the families, mainly of African origin, live off the fishing from the two big lagoons: Cienaga de Juan Polo and Cienaga de la Virgen, which are full of sea bass, shad, sea bream, ocean-bass, mullet, as well as snails, clams, shrimps and crayfish.

This Fishing Tour from Cartagena will transport you to La Boquilla, where canoes and local fishermen will greet you. Along with a guide in Spanish, navigate out to the lagoons. Here you will be taught three different fishing techniques: fishing with a line, using nets and putting out traps.
