Located just north of the Tropic of Cancer, La Pesca is 106 miles east of the state's capital, Ciudad Victoria, 26 miles from municipal head, Soto La Marina, and only 190 miles from Brownsville, Texas.

La Pesca is a beautiful formation of marine lakes or "lagunas" at the mouth of the "Soto La Marina" river: A unique enviornment where the Gulf of México and the river meet. It is this confluence of river and sea that gives rise to the area's abundant marine life. Trout, red fish and many other species can be found in large numbers.

Just north of La Pescam the Mexican Government has opened a beachfront laboratory to study and breed one of the country's endangered species, the "Tortuga Lora" or parrot turtle. Be sure to visit the laboratory during your stay.

The naval headquarters located in La Pesca offers medical services as well as a convenience store that is open to the public. Prescription medicines can be obtained either in La Pesca or in nearby Soto La Marina.
