Fishing

In Puebla’s environs you’ll find two places that are ideal for a family fishing outing: two lakes surrounded by abundant vegetation, which offer all the necessary services to enjoy a great fishing trip.

Club Amatzcalli de Metepec – Located just 40 km (25 mi) from the city of Puebla, and 10 km (6 mi) northwest of Atlixco. This is one of Mexico’s first recreational areas with a controlled ecosystem, which is done using state-of-the-art technology. Here you’ll find a lake with an abundant supply of rainbow trout. Open daily from 8:00 to 6:00. Tel. (244) 444-0740

Club Amatzcalli de Chautla – Located 30 km (19 mi) southwest of the city of Puebla, along the Mexico-Puebla Federal Highway, and 4 km (2.5 mi) from the city of San Martin Texmelucan. The grounds here form part of the Ex-Hacienda of Chautla, where you’ll find two lakes that host three annual fishing tournaments. One is a trout fishing competition, dubbed Torneo de Aniversario. The other two, which are bass tournaments, are called Torneo por Parejas and Torneo de Padres e Hijos. Open daily from 8:30 to 5:00. Tel. (248) 481-1141
