More information.
The Artisanal Fishing Tour adventure begins from Cartagena to La Boquilla , a village of Afro-American fishermen who keep the tradition of artisanal fishing alive.
Upon arriving at the community, the native fishermen will show us the fishing gear we'll be using and give us a brief explanation of how to fish in the coastal lagoon. We'll then make our own traps or pots to catch the crabs. We'll board a traditional canoe to begin our fishing trip. We'll learn how to steer like a local, and then how to take the catch back to the fisherman's house for lunch.
At the end, we will have the opportunity to learn about and participate in the preparation of crabs in garlic sauce, traditional cuisine, and everything else caught during the fishing trip will be prepared in the native fisherman's home.
When everything is ready to eat, we will have the pleasure of sharing the table at the fisherman's family home and enjoying a delicious lunch.
