Whale Watching in Nuquí:
The most amazing natural spectacle of the Colombian Pacific
Every year, between July and October, a miracle occurs in the warm waters of the Colombian Pacific. Humpback whales, majestic ocean voyagers, travel thousands of kilometers from Antarctica to reach our shores. The reason? To give birth and raise their young in a warm, safe... and absolutely magical environment.
And one of the best places in the world to experience this is Nuquí, Chocó.
A soul-stirring experience
Whale watching isn't just a tour; it's a life-changing encounter. Imagine being on a boat out to sea, surrounded by pristine jungle, when suddenly… a colossal humpback whale emerges. You see it breach, flap its tail, breathe, protect its calf. You feel the roar of the water, and with it, a profound emotion that few things can match.
At Morro Terco Hotel, we organize responsible and safe outings with expert local guides who know the best times and areas for whale watching. We depart directly from our beach, with no additional travel required. All you have to do is relax... and prepare to be amazed.
Nuquí: more than whales, a jewel to be discovered
In addition to this natural spectacle, Nuquí is a destination that captivates with its authenticity. Here, the tropical rainforest meets the sea, the sounds of nature replace the noise of the city, and Afro-Colombian and ancestral traditions are lived with the heart.
