Fishing near Uberaba, Minas Gerais

Uberaba sits in the Triângulo Mineiro region of western Minas Gerais, surrounded by a network of rivers that drain toward the Rio Grande and the Paraná basin. The Rio Uberaba runs close to the city itself, while larger waters — the Rio Grande, Rio Tijuco, and Rio Araguari — lie within reasonable reach. Freshwater fishing for species like tucunaré, pacu, and trahira defines the local scene.
