Welcome & sorry for the incorrect ID.. :)
Jason, thanks a lot for your tip. I don't think that it is Heteropoda Venatoria, because its range is far from where I spotted this one. Anyway, your suggestion put me in the right track, and I discovered that it probably belongs to Olios genus. Although my spotting has many caracteristics of this genus, I couldn't find enough info to precise the species, so I'll leave it as Olios sp until further notice.
Beautiful spotting Sergio. Excellent shot.
Thank you for the comments, guys. Joshua, I do have more pics, but they are pretty much like this one; Noel, its body was around 3/4 of an inch long and, with extended legs, its total lenght must be around 4 in.
fantastic shot!
dang what an awesome spider and picture! I wish you had more of this guy.
Awesome spot Sergio! How big was this species?
