Fishing near Aracruz, Espírito Santo

Aracruz sits on the coast of Espírito Santo, flanked by rivers and the Atlantic. The Rio Piraquê-Açu and Rio Taquaraçu run close to the city, while the Rio Doce — one of Brazil's major rivers — lies roughly 33 km away. Freshwater fishing in the region centers on these rivers and their margins, where tucunaré and tilápia are the most commonly targeted species. The nearby coast and estuaries around Barra do Riacho add a saltwater dimension, with camuripema among the species anglers pursue inshore.
