El Chocó is located in the Colombian Pacific coast is a wild territory of important biodiversity. Its strategic location in a transition area between Central and South America, gathers an immense number of animal and vegetation species of both subcontinents. Its diverse geography ranges from paramo ecosystems in the Andean high mountains, to the large extension of lush jungle where many rivers and streams, that run east – west and go to the sea in the form of streams or beaches, stand out. Besides the immense number of species of fauna and flora, in El Chocó converge indigenous, Afro descendants and settlers communities that bring an important cultural diversity to the territory.

This is a journey to enjoy the Pacific Ocean with the whales that come in their annual journey from the Antarctic. A journey where we can bathe in crystal clear rivers, go around the virgin beaches, walk along the jungle and enjoy the biological, ethnic and cultural diversity of a wild territory that over the years has manage to remain isolated.

This Colombian region is fascinating. The lush of the jungle joining with the Pacific Ocean produces a great biological diversity. Visiting this kind of places brings peace to the soul.

I enjoy each river, the sea, the hikes in the jungle and of course, the amazing whales.

No doubt one of the most beautiful places in Colombia.

Chocó is a charming place. The sea, the beaches, the rivers, the jungle, the whales, the tide, their culture; I enjoyed every single thing…an isolated region from Colombia to which very little people can reach.

I hope the place can be preserved.

Thank you SAWA for showing us this Colombian Paradise!

The whales are amazing, we watch them jump and also have the fortune to hear them sing.

The Pacific Coast is beautiful and the Utría Park is spectacular. I hope to be able to visit this place again.
