The Migration Festival (Festival de La Migración Pacífico) in Bahía Solano and Nuquí, Chocó, is a celebration that honors the spectacular natural phenomenon of the migration of various species of animals on the Colombian Pacific coast between September and October.
The main attraction is the sighting of the majestic humpback whales that every year travel from the Antarctic Peninsula to the warm waters of the region to reproduce and give birth, offering an impressive spectacle that attracts tourists and scientists from all over the world.
The festival not only celebrates the arrival of the whales, but also seeks to raise awareness about the importance of marine conservation.
Activities include guided whale watching, where visitors can get an up-close look at these giants of the sea, monitoring of turtles such as the hawksbill and leatherback turtle (the largest species of sea turtle in the world), as well as jungle walks, canoeing and surfing.
Local gastronomy is another great attraction of the festival, with traditional dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from the sea.
The Migration Festival in Bahía Solano and Nuquí is more than a celebration; is a community effort to promote ecotourism and environmental conservation, highlighting the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Colombian Pacific.
This festival strengthens local identity and encourages a greater appreciation for nature and the importance of its preservation.
