An important port and trading city on the Pacific coast of Colombia, Buenaventura has turned itself around from being ‘Colombia’s deadliest city’ to UNESCO Creative Cities Network’s ‘City of Gastronomy’. The largest city in the Valle de Cauca region of Colombia, Buenaventura is known for its amazing beaches that are a short boat ride away. With joint efforts from citizens and the local government, the city is quite stable and not only a safe place to visit now but also not to be missed. With a Native American, Spanish and Afro-Colombian history, the city has many tourist attractions, such as San Cipriano Natural Reserve, Cathedral of Buenaventura, National Palace, bars, hotels, and restaurants. But the city’s main attractions are on nearby islands like Cascajal Island, Juanchaco, Ladrilleros and Bocana.
