Pacific-Chocó village of rainforest and whales
A remote town on Colombia's Pacific Chocó coast, where rainforest meets the sea and humpback whales pass in season. It is reached mainly by its small airport and by boat.
An Afro-Colombian and Indigenous coastal community, Nuquí has long depended on fishing and the rivers behind it. Ecotourism around whales and beaches has grown recently.
