Iztapa

Overview

Introduction

The Pacific coast town of Iztapa, Guatemala, just east of Puerto San Jose and 68 mi/109 km south of Guatemala City, is a base for sportfishing trips. November-June, large sailfish, dorado, sharks and yellowfin tuna lure anglers looking to test their skills. Guatemala has laws prohibiting the possession or shipment of billfish, so catch and release is practiced, at least in theory. Similarly, hunting is discouraged—if not outright banned—throughout much of the country.
