Who we are
Aviles Brothers is a family owned business with three generations of experience.
They not only have been arranging hunts but they themselves love hunting and fishing. It all started when they were just kids and their father, C. Roberto Avilés, took them out hunting deer, jaguar, ducks and doves. Since then they developed a love for the sport and a knowledge of the field and game.
About four decades ago. Roberto and Carlos Avilés joined forces to provide their friends with hunting expeditions, later joined by Gilberto in the fishing department. Within years they became well known thru out the whole state and especially in the city of Mazatlán. Originally there were duck, dove, quail, goose and jaguar expeditions, but regulations and conservational laws have prohibited jaguar hunts.
Roberto Avilés, the older brother and owner is in charge of management, promotion, permits and business operations. He also owns an air charter business which provides air transportation to government officers, locals and tourists to just about everywhere within México.
Gilberto Avilés, the middle brother handles everything related to fishing; from arranging the boat to getting the fishing permits and picking up customers at the hotel.
Carlos Avilés, the youngest brother, has been hunting his whole life and acts as a professional guide.
Roberto Aviles Jr., son of Roberto is now in charge of the operation, so future generations will still enjoy hunting with us.
Aviles Brothers is a founding member of the Sinaloa State Association of Hunting Outfitters and Guides, which was the first association of this type in México.
They are also members of the Mexican Shooting Federation.
Mazatlán
We are based in the city of Mazatlán, in the state of Sinaloa, México also called
“The Golden Coast of the Mexican Pacific”.
Each year Sinaloa becomes the shelter of millions of birds that fly thousands of miles to meet in this beautiful landscape and mate. Over 5 million ducks, migratory and resident, meet here.
Mazatlán also know as a resort city with warm people, excellent hotels and restaurants, beautiful weather, history, art, aquariums, water parks and exceptional deep sea and bass fishing along with beautiful and exotic landscapes enhanced by extraordinary sunsets.
This makes MAZATLAN an excellent destination not only for the avid hunter and fishermen, but for the whole family.
