Malaga Bay

Málaga Bay cuts into Colombia's Pacific coast north of Buenaventura. Curichiche, Monos and Palma islands lie among its sheltered waters, with rocky cliffs and sandy beaches along their shores. Streams fall from the surrounding rainforest at La Sierpe and Tres Marías. Humpback whales journey north from southern waters to breed in the bay, where mothers and calves gather before returning towards the Antarctic.
