Fly Fishing |
Fishing in the mocha island’s water in a totally incredible
experience. Its intensity beautiful island, it’s relaxing and
with landscapes hard to describe. It’s possible to fish from
the sunrise until the last hours in the evening, and to do it from
the beach, on the rocks or on a ship. Slightly deep waters exist,
where soles of great size live, and channels where big puddles are
formed with bottom of white sands. Where big corvinas (pork), it’s
said this way because they are of big sizes and its feeding is based
on small crustaceans, also a great variety of species which inhabits
the island of sports value exist, such swordfishes, jurels, bass
and tollos. More Information:

 Explorative
skin-diving to sunken ships: |

Mocha Island there are more than 100 sinkings of ships, that date
back to hundreds of years behind. This island was visited by English
and Dutch pirates, as Francis Drake and Oliver Van Noort, using
it as a base of supply of water, meats, barley, that were obtained
by exchanges with the natives who inhabited the island (lafkenches),
all of these shipwrecks happen near to the Mocha’s coast,
hypnotized by its scenic beauty or looking for refuge. A great
variety of shoals of white sands and green waters, and also islets
which were real tramps for these navigators. Remains as those
of the Illimaní, Santiago, y Loseta become this skin-diving
