Sitio Web en Espanol

Rio Lagartos Adventures is my family business, and we are located in the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve in Rio Lagartos, Yucatan. (This is where I grew up) The Bio reserve is one of the best Tarpon Fishing areas in the world and it is in our back yard. Here in the Ria Lagartos Bio Reserve, I have been guiding fishermen and birders for more than 25 years,

Together with my son Diego jr., and excellent guides we concentrate on giving small groups of fishermen great fishing. My wife Matilda takes care of the great food part in our Ria Maya Restaurante.


RIA MAYA LODGE AND RESTAURANT


We have 3 rooms and a 3-bedroom apartment as a
choice for fishing groups. Ria Maya Restaurant is a full-service restaurant serving breakfast lunch and dinner with beer wine and liquors.

In addition to Tarpon, we have a wide variety of species to pursue in Rio Lagartos using the full range of light tackle. The Gulf of Mexico waters along our coast are very productive.


If you are the adventurous type, we can take you to the most isolated and we believe the best bone fishing in Mexico. (beach camping or live aboard boat-no lodges)


To me, all the photos on the website bring back great memories.
Come fish with us and we’ll send you home with your own great memories!
Please feel free to call or e-mail me for any information.!!!

Baby Tarpon Rio Lagartos Yucatan
Giant Tarpon caught with Rio Lagartos Adventures and Diego Nuñez

Giant Tarpon

The tarpon above was landed after a three hour fight that started about a mile from the beach. It was the first tarpon for Johan ,a seasoned fly fisherman from Holland. We worked the 65 kilo giant to the beach to land it for photos without injuring the fish. It was revived and released.

We now follow the rules for catch and release that does not allow Tarpon greater than 40lbs to be removed from the water,

Bonefish

Baby Tarpon are abundant here all year long.

Baby Tarpon are abundant here all year long. We fish them in the protected water of the estuary. Spin casting for these powerful acrobatic fish is also great sport. We can always show you the fish and put you on top of them. We can’ t always make
them bite.! This is also an excellent place to learn the art of saltwater flats fly fishing. As guides, it’s part of our job to teach. We have many experienced freshwater fly fishermen that come to learn .
