Every July, thousands of visitors flock to Colombia's Pacific Coast to witness the migration of humpback whales from Chile to their breeding grounds near Colombia. The whale-watching season offers licensed boat tours and a festival celebrating the whales and local culture. The festival aims to revive the fading traditions and create a shared cultural space for Afro-Colombians and Wounaan communities. Additionally, the area offers other attractions such as kayaking, surfing, and exploring mangrove canals. The festival organizer's vision is to promote a new kind of tourism that emphasizes nature and culture, providing visitors with unique experiences like harvesting pianguas. The festival also serves as a platform for the Wounaan to present their songs, crafts, and stories, fostering a sense of identity and belonging. The festival is part of a regional-government-supported event and consists of two parts: one to welcome the whales and another to send them off. The festival has helped unite different communities and promote the area as a tourist destination.
