To watch whales in Colombia it is possible to do so in the following destinations: Bah\u00eda Solano, Nuqui, Bah\u00eda M\u00e1laga, Isla Gorgona and Tumaco. Each one with attractions and logistical advantages over others, since the destinations are different and have their own magic so that you can live an incredible experience in this region that, in addition to whales, has incredible nature, charming culture, amazing gastronomy and a lot of life! Let’s start with the first one from north to south: Bah\u00eda Solano. This destination has the peculiarity that it is the closest to the Utr\u00eda PNN, which makes it an ideal destination if you want to get to know this national park where you will find a very well-marked trail with mangroves and the Utr\u00eda cove, which is a quiet place at the same time. that the whales usually arrive. Bah\u00eda Solano is very close to the Serran\u00eda del Baud\u00f3, which makes it a place where the mountain meets the ocean and generates the conditions for unique biodiversity, rugged landscapes with wild beaches and food for many marine life. In this destination you can enjoy maritime tours accompanied by biologists and experts in research on these cetaceans. Finally, the frequencies of flights and connections from Medell\u00edn, Bogot\u00e1 and Quibd\u00f3 to Bah\u00eda Solano are greater than to Nuqui, the other major whale watching destination in Choc\u00f3. Nuqui It is located south of the PNN Utria and although it is a little further from the Utria cove, it also has access to it. Among the great attractions of Nuqui are its beaches, such as those of Guachalito, which are shown in the \u201cChoquibtown\u201d song that has the same name as the Chocoan town. Nuqui has several towns that can be reached after several walks and is a perfect destination for lovers of walking and active experiences where paths will be traveled near the beach when the tide allows it. From Pangu\u00ed to Arus\u00ed you can pass through several towns in the middle of an incredible natural environment and with the possibility of even finding natural hot springs in said area. In the Valle del Cauca is Bah\u00eda M\u00e1laga, another destination with exuberant nature and whose main advantage is its easy access from the interior of the country since to get there you must take boats to Buenaventura and for this city there is land connectivity as well as airport with direct flights from Bogot\u00e1 with the SATENA airline or the proximity to Cali, a city that has extensive air and land connectivity.

This is a very quiet place and where the activities to do on the land surface are brief and simple. If you are looking for adventure, the action on this island is found under the sea in diving activities.
