OTHER FISHING DESTINATIONS
Bucket list trophy bass fishing in Mexico and beyond
While we’re partial to Lake Aguamilpa for its high-volume catches, low fishing pressure, and stable, clear water, we understand anglers have other bucket-list destinations in Mexico and beyond — including renowned and iconic lakes like Lake El Salto, Lake Zimpapan, Comedero, and Picachos.
If you’re interested in having your line stretched in other waters, we partner with Reel Mexican Adventures to book trips to Lake Baccarac in Mexico and the Tomo River in Colombia.
Lake Baccarac
Bacurato, Sinaloa, México
Home of Record-Breaking Bass – Lake Baccarac Lodge was the first lakeside lodge built on its namesake lake, offering first-class accommodations.
Renowned as one of Mexico’s premier trophy bass fisheries, Lake Baccarac holds the current Central American record and continues to produce double-digit giants year after year.

EXCURSIONS BEYOND BASS FISHING IN MEXICO
Add these scenic spots to your intinerary
The region surrounding Cora’s Lodge offers a glimpse into a Mexico few travelers get to see. The landscapes here are raw and stunning—mountains carved by time and rivers that cut through canyons.
It’s a place where nature speaks loudest, and every bend in the road reveals something unexpected and beautiful. Whether you’re here to fish or to simply take it all in, the surroundings invite curiosity, reflection, and awe.
Visit the Huichol Village
Tucked into the hillside along the Aguamilpa shoreline lies Huichol land—ancestral territory of an Indigenous people known for their deep spiritual traditions, vibrant artistry, and resilient way of life. Accessible primarily by boat, the remote village offers a peaceful, eye-opening contrast to the fast pace of modern tourism. Guests can schedule an afternoon outing to meet local artisans, explore winding footpaths, and shop for intricate beadwork, handwoven textiles, and other handcrafted wares. It’s a meaningful cultural experience and a rare chance to connect with one of Mexico’s most storied Indigenous communities—all set against the breathtaking scenery of the reservoir.
Coras Lodge draws its name from the Cora people—Náayeri, as they call themselves. Like their Huichol neighbors, the Cora have preserved a rich cultural heritage rooted in deep spiritual traditions, ceremonial music, and a profound connection to the land.
Rock Wall Faces
Carved high into the cliffs above Lake Aguamilpa are the mysterious Indian rock wall faces—massive, weathered carvings that seem to watch over the water from their perch. Their origin is unclear, but many believe they were shaped by Indigenous hands long ago, possibly as guardians, spiritual symbols, or storytellers in stone. Whether ancient art or natural phenomenon touched by human imagination, the effect is striking.
This excursion takes you close enough to view the faces up the sheer cliffside, with your guide sharing local legends and historical insights along the way. It’s a short but unforgettable journey—perfect for early morning light or a golden-hour cruise.
Waterfalls
Just beyond the lake’s edge are a series of secluded waterfalls that offer a refreshing escape and a dose of adventure.
This excursion is ideal for guests looking to stretch their legs and take in the natural beauty that surrounds Coras Lodge—from the rhythmic sound of falling water to the panoramic views of Aguamilpa.
Extend your stay and explore Nayarit, the jewel of the Mexican Pacific
With easy access from Tepic or Puerto Vallarta, Coras Lodge makes for a seamless getaway—whether you’re booking a focused 3-day/4-night fishing trip or pairing it with time on the coast. Many of our guests tack on a few days in Sayulita, Punta Mita, San Blas, or Puerto Vallarta to round out the experience. It’s the best of both worlds: world-class bass fishing followed by a sunset walk on the beach. Come for the fishing, stay for everything else Mexico has to offer.
