Fauna and Flora Sighting
Outdoors and adventure. In this journey, you will be able to engage in activities such as whale sighting, trekking through the jungle, sailing in a traditional canoe along the Joví river, among others.
Two ethnic groups inhabit the Colombian Pacific region: The first is formed by afro-descendant groups that migrated to escape during the time of slavery and now live on the coast, with a culture centered on fishing, and a spectacular culinary diversity. Deeper in the jungle we find the second ethnic group, the Emberá indians, who inhabited this place long before the conquest.
Throughout this journey, you will be able to engage in activities such as whale sighting, trekking through the jungle, sailing in a traditional canoe along the Joví river, among others.

What will you find?
Chocó is one of the most interesting geographical destinations in the country. It is a region where the waters of the world's largest ocean converge with an exuberant tropical rainforest. Thanks to the Humboldt sea-current, this marine area is an explosion of life that exhibits a variety of the sea's most impressive fish and mammals; and in land, one of the planet's most extraordinary jungles vibrates with amazing wildlife.
