Fishing near Baquedano, Antofagasta


Baquedano sits in the Atacama Desert of Antofagasta Region, one of the driest places on Earth. The quebradas surrounding the town are ephemeral desert drainages that carry water only after rare rainfall events, leaving little to no sustained freshwater fishing locally. Anglers based here typically travel to the Antofagasta coast for saltwater and offshore fishing in the bay and around the Mejillones Peninsula.
