Fishing with the natives of La Boquilla

Fishing with the natives of La Boquilla

Description

La Boquilla is home to many Afro-descendant families whose main source of income is fishing in its two large lagoons: Juan Polo Marsh and Virgen Marsh. When we arrive at La Boquilla, the fishermen will be waiting to take us in their canoes, accompanied by a guide.

For about 2 to 3 hours, we will fish in the lagoon. You will learn how to use fishing line, organize the fishing net, and set traps to catch shrimp and crabs. Afterwards, we will go to one of the fishermen’s huts to cook and eat together.
