San Carlos Sportfishing

Upper San Juan River / Rio San Juan still an "off the beaten track destination" :

From the years 1950 till 1976 San Juan River ( Rio San Juan ) was known as one of the best Tarpon fishing Destination in the World , there were three fishing camp on the River,.. many Angling Celebrities came here....then Civil war started in Nicaragua and all Sport Fishing activities stopped. Peace came back and since 17 years the area is quiet perfectly peaceful, tourism is more than Welcome ...

It is an almost virgin Destination for Sport Fishing than I offer .

Several important Specialized TV Shows and Fishing Magazine came to visit and experience our trips... Fields&Streams, SPORT FISHING MAGAZINE, La Pesca, Voyages de Peche, Fishing Ambasador, ...

Considering size and density of fish present all year round San Juan River is one ( if not the one ) best places in the world to fish for Giant Tarpon..

Adventures, and Discovery in an almost virgin destination. There is 98% probability than in the entire trip we do not meet another Sport Fishing boat... The only two busy days in the year are on September the 13th and 14th when it's held the Annual local Tarpon ( Sabalo ) and Snook ( Robalo ) Fishing Tournament..

Tropical Jungle River Scenery : Rain forest, Jungle River, ponds, swamps... Wild life reserve of Los Guatuzo, Solentiname, Isla del Pitasso, Medio quesso, Reserva Indio Mais, Rio Frio, Wild life reserve of Cano Negro,

Wild life Three kind of Monkeys, ( Howler, Spider, White Face ), Iguanas, Wild Cats, Caiman, Turtles, Iguanas, Dear, Outer, Guaipal, Crocodile ( Lagarto ) .. Wild life

First Class Bird Watching: Many "Birdwatchers" come here to enjoy the incredible variety of birds present all year round: Blue heron, Spoon bill, Oro pendula, sergent, Colibri, Eagles, Aigrettes, Jacana,.. etc and the majestic Jabiru. Birds are all around but I like to mention some " Hot spots" Solentiname Archipelago , Medio Quesso, Wild life reserve of Cano Negro, Wild life reserve of Los Guatousso Bird Watching

History San Juan River is a prime historical area. Many people talk of a big pre-Columbian city located somewhere in the Jungles around.. In the colonial time San Juan River was one of the "High way" for Spanish to transport the gold of Peru from Pacific ocean to the Atlantic then Spain...The area has been describe, by Mark Twain, the famous writer was there in 1860 , he was one of more than 100 000 Pioneers who pass there aboard the boats of Mr. Vanderbilt. (Gold Rush Times). Other famous "visitors": Christopher Colomb, Admiral Nelson, Pirate Morgan See History 888888

Arts: with the Painters and Wood carver of the Ernesto Cardenal Community of Solentiname Archipelago also a unique place for Bird watching ( See Arts )

Meet local people leaving on the River Banks , Share a bit of their life.. it is still possible as mass tourism is unknown here... People are very very friendly with the few Guest coming around.. (We have a lot of so special Friends living in Jungle towns or on the river banks than you will meet... Bosco, Bertha Rosa, Rosa Elena, Simeon Parales, Manolo, Fernandin, Enrique, Juan...) Friends
