Fishing near Caruaru, Pernambuco


Caruaru sits in the Agreste region of Pernambuco, in the semi-arid interior of northeastern Brazil, where several rivers drain the surrounding hills. The Rio Ipojuca runs close to the city, and the Rio Capibaribe is accessible within the broader region — a river known in Pernambuco for sport fishing, including the camurupim (tarpon). Freshwater fishing in the local rivers and reservoirs is the main draw for anglers here.
