Getting There in Nuquí

Satena (www.satena.com; tel. 1/605-2222) offers almost daily flights from Medellín, and occasionally Bogotá. Flights are often canceled because of weather. Luggage is limited to 15 kilos.

There are speedboats on Mondays and Fridays to El Valle, outside of Bahía Solano. The trip takes about one hour and costs COP$65,000 per person. Ask at your hotel to set up a reservation.

There’s a small tourist information office at the airport with brochures, maps, and contacts for local guides, though hours are sporadic.
