NUQUI (CHOCÓ, COLOMBIA) - PARAISO ESCONDIDO DEL PACIFICO

 Culture & Food The culture here is a rich tapestry of African and Indigenous heritage that comes through in every kitchen and every drumbeat. The Pacific Kitchen: Nuquí’s food is pure, fresh, and local. Here, the 'matronas' (traditional cooks) turn the catch of the day into works of art. You must try out the coconut rice, fish in coconut milk, or the famous 'piangua' empanadas. Everything is seasoned with 'herbs of the roof' (local herbs like cimarron cilantro) that women grow in their own backyards. The Rhythm of the Land: As the sun goes down, the sound of the marimba and the cununos (drums) starts to vibrate. The Currulao is the dance that tells the story of this people’s freedom. 

 Wonderful moments  Whale watching in Nuquí is, without a doubt, the most spectacular and thrilling event in the Pacific. It is not just about seeing an animal in the water; it is a deep connection with nature. It is a complete sensory experience. You can hear their blows (when they exhale air), see their giant backs surfacing, and with a bit of luck, witness their acrobatic breaches. You might even feel the sound of the whales' 'song' through the boat's hull. It is something you must take at least once in your life."

      WHERE TO GO    Playa Guachalito: stands out as the most famous and beautiful beach in Nuquí. You should watch the swaying palm trees and the beauty of the virgin jungle, which can truly bring you tranquility.                Parque Nacional Ensenada de Utría: This spot is famous for its natural hot springs located right by the sea. It is the perfect plan to kick back and relax after heading out for a hike through the jungle. Nearby, you can visit the 'Cascada del Amor' (Waterfall of Love), a freshwater fall tucked away in lush greenery where you might want to soak up the scenery or go for a swim.
