About this experience

A journey weaving nature, culture,
and ancestral cuisine

Sabores que Migran is Con Derecho a Viajar's signature experience for humpback whale season. Over 4 days, you'll experience the Colombian Pacific from the inside: you'll accompany the whales in their breeding sanctuary, take part in a sea turtle release alongside the community guardians of the territory, cook and eat the most genuine food of the Chocó, and let the river carry you away.

Every step of the journey has been designed with and for the local communities of El Valle and Bahía Solano. The families who host you, the guides who take you out to sea, the women who cook alongside you — they are all part of a community tourism model that turns your trip into an act of genuine reciprocity with the territory.

The package includes accommodation at Cabañas Arrecifes, full board with traditional Pacific cuisine, local transportation, all activities, a viche tasting, and a territory souvenir.

River, beach, and sea turtles

The third day blends activity and rest. In the morning or afternoon (8 AM–12 PM or 2 PM–5:30 PM), river activity: tubing down the Valle and Caimanera rivers with native guides who point out wildlife, or a walk along the Tundó river depending on the group's interest and conditions. In the afternoon, the most special moment of the trip: if conditions allow, you'll take part in a sea turtle release alongside the community associations who lead conservation work on El Valle's beach.

A farewell with purpose

The last morning has its own rhythm. After breakfast, time to browse the local crafts and souvenirs shop — products made by the hands of the territory so you can take home a genuine piece of the Pacific. Then a farewell talk where we reflect together on the impact of the trip, the communities you connected with, and how to keep supporting them from wherever you are. Finally, transfer to the airport.

Responsible tourism

Real community impact

Every trip strengthens
the territory

Sabores que Migran is more than a tourism experience — it's a community development model. 100% of activities are operated by families and local organizations in El Valle and Bahía Solano. Your money doesn't leave the territory — it stays in the hands of those who guide, cook, host, and protect the jungle and the sea.

Community associations protect turtle nests. Whale guides have known these waters their whole lives. The cooks pass down recipes from their grandmothers. When you travel with us, you directly support this conservation work and put tourism at the service of territorial justice.
