Artisanal fishing with local fishermen

Fish alongside fishermen from Playa El Rosario using cast net, hand line and hook.

Provisional image — awaiting real photography of this activity.

Join fishermen from the Playa El Rosario community to learn and practice the traditional fishing techniques passed down from generation to generation. The activity takes place on the Chiquimulilla Canal.

Aboard a small boat you will learn different artisanal fishing methods —cast net, hand line and simple hook— just as local fishermen practice them. Beyond the fishing, it is an opportunity to share stories and customs, and to directly support the fishing community through responsible tourism.
