Hi Everyone,
I'm planning a trip to Riosucio soon (the one in Choco, not Caldas) and was wondering if anyone who has been to the area could recommend some villages I could access by boat from there. Looking for somewhere with interesting nature and/or culture that I can reach within a few hours from Riosucio. Any suggestions of villages, or advice for getting around by boat on the Atrato would be a lot of help! Thanks!!

Up to you.
I’ve been living in Colombia for the last 6 months and have always felt totally safe. Generally those statistics apply to people who get involved in organised crime here.
