CULTURAL Heritage: Chocó is a territory rich in cultural manifestations and a protector of Afro-Colombian identity, which is why the Fiestas de San Francisco de Asís in Quibdó were named Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2012. NATURAL Heritage: UTRIA NATIONAL NATURAL PARK The Humpback whale or Yubarta (Megaptera novaeangliae) is the emblematic species of the Park. This cetacean chooses Uramba Bahía Málaga due to its warm water conditions, which serve for raising its calves and for reproduction. Their odyssey begins in southern Chile, where they feed. They travel 8,000 kilometers to Colombia, passing through Gorgona National Park, until they reach Utria National Park, which provides them refuge and safe resting areas for calving, rearing, and reproduction.
