The Colombian Pacific coast is a great ecotourism destination, being one of the most humid regions of the world where the wild, dense jungle meets the ocean. The region between Bahía Solano and Nuquí has been declared a biodiversity hotspot due to its importance on the conservation and abundance of wildlife all year long. The great advantage of Bahía Solano over Nuqui is to be really close to Utria National Park and has easier flight connections.
