A tiny and beautiful village on the Atlantic coast, Nuqui is hard to reach but has some nice places to stay.

Elevation: 0 meters. | Editing history.

Places to stay:

There's a string of fairly nice huts to stay in along the beach, that are sold during high season in package holidays.

An ecolodge in Nuqui where you can book a holiday. Not sure if you can stay there without a "plan".

Pijiba Ec Lodge (0 comments) Pijiba Ec Lodge Tel: 57 4 474 5221 Website: www.pijibalodge.com Email: gonzalotrujillo at une dot net dot co Cheapest night: 60 US$/night. Private rooms available.
Some 20 minutes south of Nuqui by boat is the Pijiba Lodge. Owned by a gentleman from Medellin but run by local Chocoanos this place is the luxury choice along this stretch of coast. Most people come here having bought a package, but your conventional package holiday this is not. If you want the Sol Melia in Cartagena or the like then you are advised not to come this way. Nuqui is a destination for the tourist who loves the outdoors and nature. Gonzalo Trujillo, the owner, has created a place of excellence and it has won awards for its design and eco friendly planning. You lodge in Cabanas that could grace the pages of Conde Nast Traveler magazine and dine out on food that is all locally sourced and included in the price spoil the client here. All rooms come with bathrooms, mosquito nets and comfortable beds. The staff are friendly and helpful and can guide you around the points of interest in this area. Hot spings, waterfalls, beaches for relaxing, good breaks for surfing, where is best to kayak. While it is possible just to show up (but unlikely that you do this in Nuqui since the whole adventure needs to be planned a little bit) it is better that you organise everything in advance since the hotel will sent a boat to Nuqui and a guide to meet you at the airport.

Things to do:

The beach is very wide and long and deserted (no white sand on this coast though). Apart from the beach and the small village, it's all jungle around here.

Getting around & transportation:

There's no road here, you either come by sea (hard), or by plane from Medellin. There's a small airstrip in the village.
