Colombia’s Secret Pacific Paradise

Colombia is roughly twice the dimension of France, so it comes as no shock that you can even now uncover a tropical paradise pretty much nearly untouched by growth. The Chocó Division, bordering Panama to the south and stretching from the Caribbean Sea down to the Pacific coastline, is a single of Colombia’s most remote but perhaps one particular of its most stunning regions.

As Max from GoNomad uncovered out during his recent journey to the region, it’s not easy to get to — twenty-seat turboprop plane, potholed streets, treacherous boat voyages — but as soon as you’re there you rapidly recognize it’s all worth it. For nature-lovers there is turtle hatchling expeditions, humpback whale watching, and jungle hikes to hidden waterfalls and glistening pools. For city pleasure . . . well, you far better keep back in Medellin or Bogotá.
