Nuquí is jungle and sea. Beach, population, and mountains, daughters of the Colombian Pacific. Among its labyrinths of rock on the beaches, its fertile and vibrant mangroves, and its lush, humid mountains teeming with life, paradisiacal landscapes await exploration.

The communities of Nuquí are characterized by their small size. Filled with wooden houses and children scampering through narrow streets where cars rarely pass (only in the municipal capital, near the airport, are there vehicles), it’s a perfect area to connect with what makes Nuquí special: its people.

It’s the place to stock up before heading to the beach hotel. Here, you can find the region’s most iconic crafts, such as wérregue vases and trays, totumo utensils, and Tagua necklaces.
