If you’re dreaming of a fishing trip that goes beyond the ordinary, fishing in Colombia might be the ultimate experience. Colombia is one of the world’s most biodiverse countries, offering both freshwater and saltwater fishing in some of the most remote, pristine, and unpressured environments left on Earth.
From the mysterious rivers deep in the Amazon and Orinoco basins to the untamed Pacific Ocean coastlines, Fishing in Colombia offers a playground for adventurous anglers. Whether you’re chasing giant peacock bass in jungle lagoons or battling roosterfish and jacks on the open sea, Colombia delivers world-class action.
Why Fish in Colombia?
- Biodiversity: Colombia is home to more than 3,000 species of fish, making it a dream destination for anglers seeking variety.
- Unpressured Waters: Many of Colombia’s rivers and coastal zones are virtually untouched, meaning trophy fish are more abundant and more aggressive.
- Year-Round Options: Freshwater season peaks from January to mid-April, while saltwater fishing thrives nearly all year on the Pacific coast.
- Adventure Travel: These fishing trips aren’t just about the catch—they’re about the journey. Rainforests, waterfalls, wildlife, and cultural encounters are part of the package.
