Pacific Coast
Witness the magical ensamble of rainforest and wide ocean
The destination: Calling it a magical, megadiverse paradise might just do justice to the pacific region of Colombia. Starting with the capital of salsa, Cali, a hotspot for gastronomy, music and festivals, you cross the extensive wild rainforest all the way to unique beaches. The Pacific Region offers the right activity, climate and scenery for everybody. The coast stands out due to its virgin beaches and rainforest mountains that make it seem like a parallel, almost unreal world. Lean back watching majestic humpback whales frolicking in the ocean, discover hidden waterfalls or wander along the wide, lonely, distinctive beaches.
The people: Bristling with pure joy of live, the people from the pacific region live a live full of rhythm, welcoming everybody to get a taste of it and have a great time together.
Typical food: Encocado de jaiba [eŋ ko 'ka ðo ðe 'xaj βa] = jaiba crab stew with coconut milk
Fun fact: El Chocó is a surfer’s Paradise and between July and November it is not uncommon to share a wave with a whale.
