How to get there

Getting to La Kuka is part of the adventure! From Medellín, you’ll fly on a 20-passenger plane for almost an hour, soaring over the Antioquia mountains and the Chocó jungle to the town of Nuquí. There, you’ll board a boat for a 45-minute ride across a portion of the Gulf of Tribugá, hugging the coastline of the Serranía del Baudó.
On the way, you might get your first glimpse of whales, fish, dolphins, and pelicans. Upon your arrival at the beaches of Guachalito, La Kuka will be waiting for you with a refreshing coconut water and a great team at your service!

We are more than happy to help you book your round-trip flight.

There are direct flights from Medellín and flights from Bogotá with a layover in Quibdó. Private trips for large groups can also be arranged. Due to our tropical conditions, we recommend not booking international flights on the same day as your departure from Nuquí in case weather conditions delay your flight.
