Maguipi lies along Colombia’s Pacific coastline, an isolated stretch of beaches, rainforest, and small coastal settlements accessible mainly by boat from Buenaventura. The region is part of one of the wettest tropical zones in the world, where dense vegetation reaches almost directly to the ocean. Seen from the water, the coastline appears as a long meeting point between jungle, sand, and the grey-green Pacific.
We passed by Maguipi by boat in March 2026 while traveling from Buenaventura to Juanchaco. I took a couple of photographs as we moved along the shoreline. The changing shapes of the coast and the thick vegetation behind it stayed visible for much of the journey.
