Rio Chico |
|
Los Roques is one of the most famous destination for bonefish in the world. Rio Chico is in another national Park in Venezuela right on the northern coast a good deal west of Caracas, It is a tarpon destination with thousands of 5-10 pound tarpon that are aggressive and acrobatic. The Tortuga Lodge will be your home and it is the only facility actually in Laguna de Tacarigua National Park so you will be very close to the fishing. Usually we travel no more than 10 minutes from the lodge. After reading this page you may want some more details by using the links found up and to the right of this text, they will overlay a specific detail page. For more pictures try out our new photo gallery topics also on the right, a little further down the page. Your vacation begins when you are met by our staff at the Caracas Airport which is actually over an hour away from Caracas and quite safe. Will will stay at the one of the hotels part way to Rio Chico in preparation for the early morning drive to Laguna de Tacarigua National Park . After a 2hour drive you will arrive in the park and at the Tortuga Lodge, The guides are ready to go when you are and the flats are just minutes away. There are hundreds of lagoons, creeks and inland lakes where the guides will find hundreds of tarpon, sometime in large schools. We use new 16 foot skiffs to get to and from the fishing. Tarpon and snook are the main quarry here and the sizes range from just a few pounds to 50 or more pounds. This area as not been fished much and is in pristine condition, be one of the first to experience this area of Venezuela. Fly Fishing Heaven!
