Nuquí – Strandleigur

Radu Traian Rúmenía

Wow, what an amazing place! Both the lodge and the area itself. It was way better and way less complicated and "rough" than I thought so I'll leave a detailed review. I flew to Nuqui from Medellin EOH in 30 min with Clic air/ex-EasyFly (which I recommend, they have new ATRs, bigger planes than others flying here which is helpful if you get turbulence along the way). Flights were on time both ways. After you pay the Nuqui entrance tax, you turn slightly left and then right and walk 2-300 meters to the tourist port/muelle turístico. Claro and Tigo have coverage here but if you have another Colombian SIM you are covered too due to Roaming Automático Nacional (I got H+ speeds with my SIM from WOM, not sure if having a SIM from Claro gets you 4G or the same; speed was enough for browsing and posting pics, don't think it works for video call). Previously you would have messaged the host (on wapp) who sends a boat/lancha to pick you up. 2-3$ and 10 min later (this trips itself is nice) you are at the lodge. The tent I had was right by the beach and the area had hammocks and a comunal, new and clean, bathroom/shower area. Shower water is not hot but not cold either, it feels fresh. You can buy food, drinks, water, coconut etc from the host, very affordable. This stretch of beach can be reached only by boat and the accommodation is the only one in the area so you'll have kms of beach by yourself (+ crabs/cangrejos haha). It's very easy to travel to Nuqui, the lancha that got you here can be called for you by the host (Niqui has more places to eat, grocery stores, pharmacy etc so no need to overplan things like I did haha; host can help you to even get food delivery from Nuqui!). The whale watching tour that the host booked for me was very nice too and not only it includes whale (and dolphins!) watching but it also goes to a nice, more populated beach area and to Termales.

The hosts are very friendly and helpful, the accommodation beautiful and very clean! The village is very cute, in a remote location. Everyone is very friendly and it feels like you get to live the real village life where everyone knows each other. There are some beautiful tours and locations to discover around Nuquí.

Wonderful peaceful place right in the middle of nature. Perfect spot to explore the beauty of the pacific coast. The host was incredibly helpful on providing contacts for all the things we wanted to do.

Absolutely lovely hosts who already in the communication before the arrival shared many helpful tipps and were a joy to be around during the stay. Casa Colibri‘s location directly at the beach with a beautiful garden where many colibris and other animals roam free (cats and dogs) is amazing, also the entire village of Arusí is a very friendly and relaxed place to stay. We had delicious breakfast at Casa Colibri and fantastic lunch and dinner (if you like fish) at a lovely local family‘s terrace. The wonderful hosts also organized a great jungle hike and whale-watching boat trip. I highly recommend staying at Casa Colibrí
