Los Roques Archipelago
Los Roques has for a long time been known as an outstanding destination for Bonefish. However it has much more to offer. Species such as Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Jacks, Barracuda, Triggerfish, and Parrotfish to name some. Make it one of the very best flats fishing destinations in the Caribbean, with quality and variation in fishing that is hardly found
anywhere. Los Roques offers some of the most breathtaking and unspoiled sceneries in the Caribbean. Here, the calm rhythm of nature invites you to slow down and to forget the rituals of your daily life. The archipelago of Los Roques is located only 80 miles from Caracas. It
consists of over 350 islands and cays that emerge from the most translucent sea and coral
beaches
Los Roques, a breathtaking archipelago located just 80 miles from Caracas, offers pristine and unspoiled scenery in the Caribbean. Designated as a National Park in 1972, the islands boast over 350 islands and cays, each emerging from translucent seas and coral beaches. The village of Gran Roque, the only settlement, exudes a quaint charm with its pastel-painted buildings and unpaved roads, offering a laid-back atmosphere far removed from the hustle of city life.
The archipelago’s vast flats and islands provide abundant opportunities for wading and stalking fish, particularly Permit, Tarpon, Snook, Jacks,
Barracuda, Triggerfish, and Parrotfish to name some. With little fishing pressure due to recent events, the game fish in Los Roques are eager to take a fly.
The most recent species to become the prey of the avid flyfisherman is the unlikely, coral feeding Parrot Fish. This fish, with its small mouth and vice-like jaws,It is as much of a challenge as a Permit, and some would say that catching a Parrotfish on the fly is a greater achievement than the Permit since there are not many places one can frequently
target parrotfish while flats fishing.
ACCOMMODATION
Posada Movida
On Gran Roque, there are many lodges to choose from but the one that we prefer is
the Posada Movida. At this Lodge, you will find a blend of services that
accentuates the comfort of simple things with extraordinary attention, exquisite food,
refreshing drinks, and a famously friendly atmosphere. It is a superior «posada», each
room with air conditioning, a private bath and hot water. It is located in the village a
few meters from the water’s edge.
Trip Schedule and Programme:
All out trips are accompanied by one Wild Sea Expedition host and guide, to always have the maximum level of care and assistance.
On arrival at Caracas, we will be assisted by a ground team for terminal change to catch our flight to Los Roques or transfer to the hotel, in accordance with the international flight schedule.
You will then take a charter plane (or a commercial domestic flight depending on numbers) for the short, early morning flight to Gran Roque. You will be met at the landing strip by the Posada representative and the head guide who will escort you on foot to the Posada. As soon as you are ready, a full day’s fishing awaits you. After 6 full days of fishing, you will take the most conveniently timed return flight to Caracas on the following day to connect with your international departure.
A longer stay is always possible due to the daily flight from Caracas – Los Roques, a longer stay it’s a great idea to have more time to dedicate to some bucket list species.
