Things to See in Pacific Coast

  • Utria National Park

    Composed of beaches, jungles and mangroves, this park is a must see when on the Pacific Coast of Colombia. Mountainous and wet (it gets one of the highest rainfall totals in the world) the park also is a great place to get up close to local culture as there are a number of small, very traditional fishing villages intersecting with the park.

  • Gorgona Island

    Once a prison island, this has become a paradise for those seeking a true remote, isolated, jungle experience. A hub of eco-tourism, the island has a variety of wildlife to include monkeys, sloths, and then head out to the ocean to whale watch for the mighty humpbacks, even spot great white sharks as well as hammerheads.

  • Surfing

    The Pacific Coast offers plenty of excitement for surfers. El Valle is one of the more popular destinations when it comes to catching some waves. The town itself has a very traditional vibe with dirt roads and humble buildings, most come here for the sea and of course the surfing.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
