The city of Capurgana is located in a Colombia Golf close to the Panama border on the Caribbean side. The small town is only reachable by boat. It is like an island, prices are bigger and it is more difficult to find goods even fruits and vegetables. Still now, the area around is partly controlled by military groups. However, as a tourist, you have nothing to fear. People in the town are very nice. On top of that, Colombia is working hard to make the peace and develop the tourism.

As I wanted to practice my diving skills, I took the opportunity to discover the Caribbean sea bed. I did two dives. My favorite one was the second one, in a place called “La Grieta” just around a rock in front of the town. I saw lots of fishes, a ray, a lobster and a crab. Definitely, the water was more beautiful and warmer than the one in Puerto Lopez in Ecuador.

I went also with my friend Guillaume to “El Cielo”. The place was located 45 mins from the town.  In this spot in the jungle, we enjoyed rivers, a waterfall and nice treks.
