Dive into an ocean of adventures and experiences that will enrich your mind, your spirit, and your connection with nature.
From June to October, the majestic humpback whales travel over 8,000 kilometers from Antarctica to the warm, deep waters of the Colombian Pacific to give birth to their calves. Bahía Cupica—our home—is one of their favorite sanctuaries: a serene place, far from the noise of traditional tourist areas, where life unfolds in its purest form.

Seguimos estrictos protocolos al momento de realizar el avistamiento de ballenas, para proteger a las madres y sus crías, entendiendo la inmensa responsabilidad de compartir contigo uno de los tesoros más asombrosos del océano.
Come be part of this unique experience.
Nature is waiting for you.
