EXPERIENCE
Expedition to Choco An Exotic and Unique experience
The rainiest place in the world located in Chocó, where a year it can rain 10 times more than in a middle place in the rest of the world.
El Chocó is a wild region of Colombia and a territory invaluable for its biodiversity. Because of its geographical location as the conduit between South and Central America it is home to a vast array of animal and plant species from both subcontinents. Its geographic variety ranges from high Paramo (alpine moorland) ecosystems in the Andean mountains to vast expanses of exuberant jungle. A large number of streams and rivers run from east to west, where they empty into the Pacific Ocean.
Beyond its rich fauna and flora, El Chocó is home to black people descendants from slaves, Afro-Colombians and indigenous people. Travelers who visit El Chocó have the privilege of experiencing a place of magnificent natural beauty that has remained largely isolated through the years.
