Capurganá, Caribbean coastal settlement in Chocó Department, Colombia
Located at the northern edge of Colombia near Panama, Capurganá features coral reefs, emerald waters, and dense rainforest of the Darién region.
The Kuna indigenous people inhabited this territory until the late 20th century, naming it Capurganá which translates to 'land of chili peppers'.
The region preserves its natural environment without cars, where local merchants sell traditional crafts and organize ecological walks through forest paths.
The settlement connects to Medellín through the Narciza Navas Airport with flights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, lasting approximately 70 minutes.
The natural pool called Piscina de los Dioses contains saltwater formations where visitors can observe various seashells and sometimes dolphins in their habitat.
