Every July, tens of thousands gather in Buenaventura, Colombia, to witness humpback whales migrate from Chile to their breeding grounds near Colombia, enhancing both tourism and local culture.
During the whale-watching season from mid-July to October, visitors can observe whales breaching and slapping the water, while also participating in an annual festival celebrating marine life.
The influx of tourists, mostly Colombians but increasingly foreigners, has led to a revival of local traditions and a greater appreciation for the cultural significance of these majestic creatures.
The festival surrounding the whale migration not only showcases the natural beauty of Malaga Bay but also serves as a platform to celebrate and preserve the local community's culture.
